  • What do you mean by if users don’t read instructions the fediverse has no hope to survive?

    Users are one of the four pillars on which the Fediverse stands. Their contribution is both to exist and to contribute financially to the Fediverse. A functionally illiterate user can’t even understand how and where it’s best to contribute. If these are the users of the Fediverse, then they will be prey to scammers or commercial platforms.

    Literacy on instagram etc. is probably not very high, yet it’s one of the biggest platforms.

    Commercial platforms have a business unit dedicated to capturing the illiterate, the distracted, and the not-so-intelligent.

    Also making it clearer what the app supports doesn’t double the work for devs.

    Creating two apps almost creates double work. Advising developers to create two apps is cruel…


  • You’re right, but it’s also important not to be subjected to the thousands of requests from the community. I’m a Lemmy administrator, and initially I only allowed communities to be created by request. I can say that many of those who asked me to start a community didn’t even bother to follow it… Similarly, users continually ask software and app developers to add unnecessary features that burden developers with commitments and man-hours that rarely yield any benefits.

    It’s certainly right to evaluate users’ needs, but developers have a primary ethical duty to take care of themselves and avoid burnout. Giving developers a nervous breakdown is the easiest way to kill the Fediverse!


  • It’s not closure, but a simple plea for love and kindness.

    The Fediverse is based on four pillars:

    1. Software developers (Mastodon, Lemmy, Friendica, Piefed, etc.)
    2. Server administrators (mastodon.social, lemmy.ml, friendica.world, piefed.social, etc.)
    3. App developers (Fedilab, Jerboa, Raccoon, Blorp, etc.)
    4. The user community

    Honestly, you can’t ask app developers to double their work (development, release, store registration, updates, etc.) because users don’t read the instructions! 🤣

    Users have a huge responsibility: to support, test, and fund the volunteer community (1, 2, and 3). If users don’t even want to read the instructions, then the Fediverse has no hope of surviving. Those users deserve to be devoured and digested by Big Tech, by profiling logic, and by the predatory attention economy. Amen
