We have a lot of options for all social media and other apps, but it is hard to catch people’s attention. How can we make more people use these platforms rather than a platform that p.dophiles run

    For convenience, it also doesn’t help that OSS is extremely hit and miss and inconsistent between developers.

    This includes:

    • App names
    • UI/UX
    • Features
    • Quality of life
    • Being a fucking dick to newcomers

    At the end of the day, regular people want something that just works™. They don’t want to have to dig through ancient tomes old form posts to figure out that a depreciated version of an app has been supersceeded by a slightly differently named version by a completely different dev that requires some weird dependencies that conflict with another app’s dependencies and everything just breaks at some point… It’s a pain in the ass.
