Sometimes, people on Facebook don't know the Fediverse exists.
The European Commission likes to tell them. 💜 😉@hpod16 EU citizen-only .. That is not the fediverse at all. That is a fortress Europe online.

@moftasa
Yeah, what the Commission answered here isn't quite what they asked.
But with a generous reading, still an opportunity to promote the Fediverse. -
@lucien
I know, I know...
When I first started (a week ago), I struggled with understanding the federated nature.
But I just put out a post to ask questions, and people explained things to me, and I was amazed with the awesome community out here!@hpod16 I agree 😁 I ended up on Reddit rabbit holes and documentation pages to learn some things. This user type will however not search and if they can't ask their friends or family for help, they give up.
Still, steps are taken to make this process more user friendly, which is great!

@hpod16 the problem is that the same people that don't know will run into lots of UX issues when trying Fediverse. I know a few sadly...
The Fediverse has a great collection of techies creating the protocols and infrastructure. What we're missing is the folks helping regular people use it.
Hopefully folks like Hannah will start creating that layer. Not just through advocacy, but by hiring staff dedicated to helping people use it.

@lucien also, you have to bear in mind that when we reply to public comments, it isn't just for the benefit of the one person who commented, but for anyone else who may be lurking in the comments sections.
And: usually you have to hear about a new product a number of times before you try it out. So, many baby steps, one big goal. -

@szkodnix any opportunity to promote Fedi
(Although on second reading I admit that could have been better phrased, they are asking for an EU-only platform and Fedi is global...) -

The European Commission likes to tell them. 💜 😉@hpod16 Lately I'm not happy by much stuff EU championed, especially on the digital world but I love this! Especially because instead of trying and failing to build and push their own solution as governments tends to do they promote a grassroots movement.

@realcaseyrollins @lucien
for me, it took some time to get used to the federated nature.
For example, if I am on my EUPolicy server and I open a link to a mastodon.social profile, I won't be logged into my EUPolicy account and can't directly interact. I have to find them in my search bar. It's not a huge thing, but it lead to some hang-ups.
I was shameless enough to admit I was struggling with this, and people in the comments just walked me through the process. Good community here. -
@realcaseyrollins @hpod16 this are the top ones that I observed:
- Server selection onboarding. This is number one, you'll find plenty of posts online with confused users. Though Mastodon works on improving it soon it seems.
- Limited search and discovery (bottlenecked by the server)
- Broken uploads because of dead CDNs
- Confusing 'DM' featureThese all make sense to me and are ok, but casual Joe will struggle.

@MissWarcraft I would say there are many reasons.
I also think that Mastodon just doesn't have a large marketing budget, that would be useful to get people on board.
That, and I think the initial step of choosing a server can be offputting

La destra ha affossato definitivamente il voto fuorisede.
Sono nervosi, vedono il consenso del NO aumentare. Hanno paura di perdere.
Uno schiaffo alla democrazia e a 5 milioni di persone, vittime di un vero ricatto: rinunciare a votare o spendere cifre folli ed tante ore di vita per poterlo fare.
Ma non tutto è perduto. Perché puoi votare fuorisede con noi
Vai su www.votofuorisede.it registrati come rappresentante di lista per poter votare al referendum del 22 e 23 marzo nel comune dove abiti.

@reflex @eldersea @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs https://stateof.mozilla.org/ has some detail
you have to guard your eyes against the rather horrendous antidesign made the taste for paper
but once you get into the details you also see that moz is >=$1.4b flush
which ..... is a tad beyond fat

@quinta 😁 decisamente...

@lisyarus nice!

@eldersea @davidgerard @theorangetheme @froztbyte @firefoxwebdevs I think Google money made them too fat, they don't need to listen to their actual user base because their salaries get paid no matter what.
-
@paul @firefoxwebdevs to be clear, I'm blocked by his personal account not the work account
but... yeah. it does seem that calling them on their nonsense gets an Amplified Response. in one of the most classic abuser patterns.
lolshrug, nothing new under the sun etc etc

You know how there's always a sucker holding the bag at the end of every con? I feel like Firefox is that, for AI.
It's like with anything hot, by the time your boomer relative says it, it's dead and has been for years, but the carcass is still at Bernie's and miraculously sitting up.
