Don't tell people "it's easy", and seven more things Kbin, Lemmy, and the fediverse can learn from Mastodon (UPDATED)

I'm flashing!!!!!
But first, some background

  1. Don't tell people "it's easy"
  2. Improve the "getting-started experience"
  3. Keep scalability and sustainability in mind
  4. Prioritize accessibility
  5. Get ready for trolls, hate speech, harassment, spam, porn, and disinformation
  6. Invest in moderation tools
  7. Experiment to find what approaches are a good fit for the current state of the software
  8. Values matter

This is a great opportunity – and it won't be the last great opportunity

@thenexusofprivacy @lemmy @fediversenews I find that technical people are very much unaware of how complicated the things they do are for the average person. To the extent that they'll often be really rude about it.

What a nice read. Here's hoping Lemmy will flourish and manage to tackle some of the important issues raised here.
