    Tech people talk about tech too much. I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to. And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers. It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense. For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry. I am so lost, every single time. I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does. I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps. My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things. (examples in thread)

    @bovaz @stefan @tsadilas indeed. And for WordPress, the fact that you can e.g. comment on a WP article from the rest of the Fediverse really drives the “shared social network” concept. And IIRC they are working on making the integration even tighter (esp. in the other direction).I'm not familiar enough with Ghost's integration to comment on that though.

    @DarthAstrius This! Blocking Threads is like installing a mosquito net: you know the swarm is out there, but you get to choose whether to let a few in for observation or slam the door. Meta funding the fediverse though: that’s like letting a raccoon manage the food pantry and hoping it doesn’t immediately chew through the walls.
