A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That so many people think Mastodon is hard to join makes me think that there are a lot of people on the internet now who have never learned how to use the internet
It's easy to forget outside of communities like this how low tech literacy actually is.
I think I don't understand probably 95% of how the internet works and I'm fairly sure that I'm above average in my general understanding.
If the Fediverse really wants to break into the mainstream, and I'm neither saying it does or it should, then these things need to become easier and straightforward.
Joining a server isn't hard, but finding content outside of the server you have chosen can be. Lemmy seems to be better than Mastodon here, but still.
People don't care about federation as such. They want their social network and they want it all, regardless of which server it sits on, and they want it easy.
