I would disagree. The default UI might feel shoddy, but using apps and custom UIs like tesseract or photon and it really doesn’t look shoddy at all.
I’m stuck with voyager now that I’ve invested lots of time into their tagging system.
I look at it this way. If my grandparent asks me how to do “the email”, I’m not going to explain to them how they could choose protonmail or nextcloud or whatever. I’m just going to choose and send the one I think is easiest for them to set up.
This isn’t always the case though. That’s just one example of difference between instances.
Instances can change everything, from being able to view nsfw content, if you can downvote or not, and who you can talk to (big difference between instances federated with ML/grad/hexbear and not. (And then the BeeHaw Defeds make a difference too).
That’s why I when I recommend the threadiverse (aka. lemmy or piefed or Mbin) to people I just send a link to an instance I think they’ll like. Instead of explaining the whole thing. If they join the instance with time federation will start to make sense to them and they might migrate later on.
Cool idea. But no thanks:
Thank you for your service 🫡
Man I once had that happen and I’m wheelchair bound. I had to move apartments after I realised how unresponsive they are to lift problems. When the lift breaks, it means I have to sleep on a friends couch!
You can using voyager app/UI.
The native UI doesn’t let you.
GET OUT THERE, STOP MAKING EXCUSES.

I think “illegals” is just as dehumanising as “illegal aliens”. And what the government uses is kind of irrelevant to that, governments have a long history of labelling marginalised groups with dehumanising terms.
I think “undocumented migrants” or “unofficial migrants” or “people without residency” etc would be better.
Is “illegals” supposed to be “people without permits”?
I’m a bit suprised to see that phrasing used on lemmy, it’s incredibly dehumanising.
I hate to be that guy, but our society is based upon a capitalist system, where people are rewarded for ruthlessness and competition — not collaboration, solidarity, or respect.
Because we as a society blame the victims more than the perpetrators.
Yep. It’s kind of annoying when people see everything through an “english” lense and assume anything that isn’t made to work for english speakers won’t work…
I agree that defed from lemmygrad hexbear and ml is a plus, but it doesn’t really answer my concern of it being run by a single person
Yep. In Switzerland not having your ID on you is an arrest-able offence. Of course, the police never check the ID of anyone white or who blends in.
But if you look brown / disabled, then they will check you…
Specific reason for recommending sopuli? I quite like them but isn’t it more of a hobby project run by a single person? As we saw with kbin and feddit.de the single person run instances can disappear quick.
