I don't understand why people still want to use reddit instead of moving to Lemmy or Kbin (sh.itjust.works)

Most people aren't even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It's not that hard.

300% this. People like us can navigate our way through all those drawbacks, but are deal-breakers for people like mom who lurk Reddit from time to time.

    You can make the same comment between Facebook being 'easier" than Reddit. Or forums being easier than IRC.

    A natural order is as user mass increases, ease of use improves. I think it's fine to acknowledge the challenges while continuing to spread the message and leveraging early adopter influence with folks comfortable doing some reading to understand vs a casual "mom" internet user that needs a very safe, templated app experience without many (or any) customization options.

    I got reminded of IRC a bit ago, wonder if that's gonna get a resurgence. I was thinking maybe something like lemmy/kbin with a built in IRC like how kbin has the microblogs.

    In the workspace Slack is very big and is very analogous to a supremely polished IRC. Discord outside of professional workspaces is similar, though a bit more detached.

    To me, these are the mass market evolutions of IRC from back in the day.
