When I say normie I mean someone who doesn’t care about self-hosting doesn’t really care that much about privacy and you wouldn’t consider deep tech hobbyist.
If you did , how did you do it ? Did they stay ?
Or if someone did convert you , how did they do it ?
No, my wife is normieish, followed me over to Lemmy for a bit but you lot scared her off.
Now she just uses instagram and threads
Do you reckon she’d have a better time with Pixelfed and Mastodon over Lemmy? Those are more similar to Instagram and Threads, I believe.
Well we were both migrating away from reddit with the API culling since our app died.
Ahh. Still might be worth considering though, since pixelfed and mastodon have a different crowd she might jive with better.
I also use Mastodon a lot. I tried Pixelfed but 90 percent of I see are still Mastodon accounts so I just follow them on Mastodon.
The right client there makes all the difference.
It’s sad but I find there’s a legit problem with sexism against women on Lemmy/Piefed. Its too often I see memes posted that are precariously bordering on boomer/incel humour
i see it a lot more often on piefed instances; it’s like the worst of reddit got turned off by the rest of the fediversse but felt that piefed is okay somehow.
it’s so bad that i had to start using the blocking feature for the first time on any of the social media platforms i’ve used since 1996.
it makes me wish that i could shake off my american addiction to bread-and-circuses so that i can be 100% happy with the instances that only have thought provoking content like the one i’m using to write this.
Well she should be using Arch Linux dammit !! I am kidding totally kidding. Sorry about that
