We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: x.com/LibreOffice/status/20262โฆ โ Welcome to all our new followers here ๐

It's nice hanging out here with the other geniuses who can figure out how to use it.

I don't think that people are lying?
You could argue that they "just" need to put in a bit more effort, but maybe it's best to find ways to further improve the user experience?
There's some really low hanging fruit, like github.com/mastodon/mastodon/iโฆ.

in reply to STP • • •@SciPolTech I don't really have much more to add here, just that this attitude of disbelief is not very helpful, and contributes to people's view of the fediverse as gatekeepy and condescending.
Better to listen to people, trust them, and think creatively about how to address their problems.

"put zero (or close to) effect in to really trying it"
In other words: "You're just doing it wrong."
We need more empathy. We all have different needs and priorities in life. Being better at computers and having the time to invest into learning new things don't make anyone superior in any way.

in reply to Stefan Bohacek • • •@stefan @SciPolTech @ghouston @oblomov people are "lying" because they're discounting that their friend groups are the ones who educate them.
"There's this new site called Facebook, let me help you sign up." Followed by "everyone can see the message you just wrote. ๐ณ Let me show you how to..." etc.
Expecting zero friction is exhausting.

in reply to wavefunction • • •@wavefunction I don't know, I'm still just not really convinced that people lying about how difficult Mastodon/fediverse is being a major reason people prefer Bluesky.
But then you also say people expect zero friction.
Is this actually true? Any way to back this up?
People complain about user experience on Bluesky all the time. No edit button. No private posts. Etc. And as Bluesky slowly works towards greater decentralization, we'll see more challenges.
But I trust that there will be more attention put towards easing those there, rather than blame the user.

in reply to LibreOffice • • •For anyone interested in the perverse denialism of the people stuck on the platform formerly known as Twitter, this conversation is quite a case study:
nitter.net/LibreOffice/status/โฆ
Starts out with a critical X user who is, you should know, "very pro-open source in privacy". Others are concerned that Fediverse engagement might be skewed by "more bots than here", and of course the all-time great "If you want true decentralized social media then it is Nostr".
People are beyond saving.

(The linked twitter post has been deleted. And the anti-savvy of posting a link on Mastodon to your Nazi-bar twitter post is awesome. In a bad way. Less cool than posting a dick pic in your intro.)

You know what, the Internet is large and if you want to know about something you will add it to your RSS or open an account in another network. News sites still exist and LO shows up there too.
