Slow and steady wins the race. Also helps to not be shit. looking at reddit.

    Yeah, we also turn a lot of people away by having boring UI and no Algorhythm, but I consider those to be more of a personality filter.

    Especially on Lemmy, the only thing it's really doing is bringing some discoverability but the discoverability isn't all that bad on Lemmy you have to look around for like 2 minutes to find the communities, okay, well you have to understand that there are like communities on multiple instances, figure out how to switch from local to all, then look around for 2 minutes

    After hanging out on Blue sky for a bit I'm pretty sure Mastodon could use a little algorithmic help. The communities on Mastodon are so loosely formed they can be a little hard to find, you end up looking for people with the same taste and follow their followers. It works but nothing ever gets surface to you that you didn't actually actively look for and it seems to be kind of a mess in a Twitter scenario.

    Maybe we do want a minimum barrier to entry that involves the slightest amount of patience and forethought.

    Maybe it's like playing mosquito tones through speakers at malls. You have to be old enough to live through text-forward websites to put up with a text-forward websites.

    Except I know there are some younger people here, I don't know what it is exactly, It just seems to me that there's better discussion and more acceptance on sites that have less frills.
