When I say normie I mean someone who doesn’t care about self-hosting doesn’t really care that much about privacy and you wouldn’t consider deep tech hobbyist.
If you did , how did you do it ? Did they stay ?
Or if someone did convert you , how did they do it ?
No, my wife is normieish, followed me over to Lemmy for a bit but you lot scared her off.
Now she just uses instagram and threads
Do you reckon she’d have a better time with Pixelfed and Mastodon over Lemmy? Those are more similar to Instagram and Threads, I believe.
I also use Mastodon a lot. I tried Pixelfed but 90 percent of I see are still Mastodon accounts so I just follow them on Mastodon.
The right client there makes all the difference.
Well we were both migrating away from reddit with the API culling since our app died.
Ahh. Still might be worth considering though, since pixelfed and mastodon have a different crowd she might jive with better.
Well she should be using Arch Linux dammit !! I am kidding totally kidding. Sorry about that
It’s sad but I find there’s a legit problem with sexism against women on Lemmy/Piefed. Its too often I see memes posted that are
precariously bordering onboomer/incel humouri see it a lot more often on piefed instances; it’s like the worst of reddit got turned off by the rest of the fediversse but felt that piefed is okay somehow.
it’s so bad that i had to start using the blocking feature for the first time on any of the social media platforms i’ve used since 1996.
it makes me wish that i could shake off my american addiction to bread-and-circuses so that i can be 100% happy with the instances that only have thought provoking content like the one i’m using to write this.
