The average user will go to join Lemmy and abort, because they can’t grasp the idea that joining one server gets them into other servers. They worry about server selection, have analysis paralysis, and nope out. That’s why they’re asking for a bluesky reddit and not a mastodon reddit.

Normie’s want centralization because they don’t understand how else it can work and while some can learn and have it explained many will give up before giving it a chance.

Curious what they are and how you manage the incoming?

I have been trying to curate my list and they’re all very chatty. I end up struggling to stay on top of it even just dismissing articles I won’t read, let alone reading a significant percentage.
