Not sure why we feel the need to dive into whether they used the right word

What the fuck kind of question is that? It’s misinformation. It’s misleading, because it makes a claim that is patently untrue. It makes an outright accusation that is demonstrably false. It’s not ambiguous, it’s not “close enough,” it’s simply incorrect. There is no reason to call it something that it isn’t, and every reason not to make some asinine false accusation.

Why are you up my fucking ass about it anyway? I called someone out for saying something that ISN’T TRUE, I must be a real piece of shit, right? Don’t worry, next time I read some misleading ass shit I’ll just go fuck myself instead of saying anything.

Come on, that’s not what they meant and you damn well know it. Don’t be a pedant.

It’s bizarre to me that people will lose their goddamn shit over a misleading or just bad title when it’s an article, but when it’s a text post you’re a dick for pointing it out. Which is it? Do we give a fuck about accurate headlines or not?

“Paywall” means something. Twitter is not paywalled. There’s no reason to be a shit about it, I’m not attacking you, it’s just a misleading headline.

Who are you quoting, and why do they think “paywall” means you have to make a free account?

Putting quotes around the wrong word doesn’t make it the right word.

No idea, homie, I got here from All on kbin.

Please explain how @android@lemmy.world is the wrong community for discussion about Lemmy apps for Android.

How? I’d love to block some instances, but nobody ever fucking explains how.

they’re only 4 admins and don’t really have the capability to moderate that well right now

We know, they continually remind us.

Multiple accounts is not the same thing as abandoning your profile and instance to start over somewhere else. I have more than one profile right here on kbin, for example.

Regardless, you’ve ignored the entire rest of my comment, and kinda the whole point; people don’t know. How could they know? Where are they going to learn if not here, and once they are here, why leave?

Many ActivityPub services allow you to seamlessly transfer your profile from one instance to another. It even sends messages that let your followers update so they follow you at your new address. Moving profiles isn’t a big deal. It’s Ok if they join a big instance at first, and move later.

But do people know that? Not a rhetorical question, I only have direct experience with kbin and only a week’s worth at that. I had only the very foggiest idea what all of this was when I came to kbin and signed up. I’ve learned a lot more since then, but I’m still brand new to this.

If I have no complaints with kbin, why would I be motivated to look for a new instance? Should I be looking anyway? What compelling reasons exist to shop around, as it were?

There are compelling reasons why new folks join big instances and it’s not definitely a bad thing

Seems like the natural progression of this sort of thing, no? Has enough time even passed to tell if this is a problem or not? This is a bit of an aside, but I feel like there’s been a lot of doomposting the last few days about imagined future problems. Have we really had enough time to make any actionable observations?

IDK why is everyone making accounts on the 3-4 biggest instances.

How do you expect a newcomer who has no understanding of content federation to find these low-pop instances? Of course everyone’s joining the main handful, they don’t know anything else exists.

I’d imagine most people coming from typical social media don’t even realize that instances are a thing when they sign up on one. They’ve heard about lemmy or kbin or whatever, so they go to lemmy or kbin or whatever and sign up. Once they learn how it works, they’ve already established a profile on that instance; they’re not going to start over on a new one.

Might wanna NSFW tag these, homie, not everyone wants hentai bondage on their front page lol
