This is me, and I’m cool with it! I like jumping into both on a daily basis to see how each progresses.

And no interest in thinking about why they’re down ~50% in advertising revenue.

All those US boots on the ground in Ukraine. Get real.

Capitalism is fine as long as people aren’t complete scumbags about it. Rare, I know. It’s a human morality proposition.

You have to consider that your technical proficiency is not the same as everyone else’s.

This is the important part. I’m part of the big homebrewing (beer) community on Reddit, as well as some local subs for my home area. I don’t think a ton of those users can figure it out as easily as someone like myself.

The complication comes from things aside from the sign-up process. It’s understanding instances and navigation. People don’t know how it works. I.e. what is the equivalent of a subreddit? Who hosts it? Is it someone’s personal server? What if it goes down suddenly? Etc.

Eh. This is kind of a weak attitude.

Well, sure, anyone posting here at the moment figured it out. But I’d bet there’s tons of people interested but intimidated.

I’m currently using the beta for Memmy on iOS. I think it’s prepping for an App Store release today. It’s a good foundation and has promise.

Registration and discovery needs to be simplified tremendously for long term viability. But it’s a good start.
