Yeah. "me me me, now now now". And they get exactly what they deserve. Convenience, at any cost.
But honestly it's not even really convenient. It's just accoutumance. Windows is the opposite of simple. Google is not simple (try to find anything in that google drive soup). iOS is terrible at doing anything other than giving Apple money. They are just used to it. That's all. And I don't think we should replicate any of this in the Fediverse. Because I'm a Fediverse user, I love how it is, and I DO NOT want to see it flooded by stupid flows taken from greedy useless silicon valley product managers. And if that's what keeps Rando Joe from using the Fediverse, so be it. Maybe they'll come later after getting fucked a bit too hard by big tech and realize that, yeah, maybe they can spend 10m learning something new, because fundamentaly, it's better. We are building an alternative, not a replacement.
