       Argument: "A good social media platform must work so that you can just open it and start using it right away."I disagree. How is this even possible? Nothing is served on a silver platter. Let's take for example computers and Internet. You have to choose the browser app, then you need to select the website you want to use. If you don't find something, you need to open a search engine and look for it.You make micro-decisions like these every day. Why is the Fediverse different?#Fediverse #MetaDiscussion #SocialMedia #Bluesky

       @rolle To add: "You have to know the conventions and iconography of a given user interface". It's why people hate switching from windows to Mac, or vice versa (or LOL, Linux). It's not that any of these options is bad, it's that people THINK it is bad because it's different and now they have to update their muscle memory to click the mouse slightly differently in different locations, understand different focus behaviours, all of that.Change means learning, and people only ever want to learn things that interest them, which is why nerds who love tech will change but regular folk who just want to get their work done will not.Anyway, I've drifted off topic. This is what the "Social media should work out the box intuitively" folk don't realise is actually happening. No social media software has EVER been like that, there's only "Stuff I've used for years and can operate in my sleep," and everything else.
