I won't go so far as to use the word "normie" like this is 4chan, but I will say: I think it's fine. I'd rather have slow growth, thanks. I'm not the arbiter of what kind of users we should attract or anything, but if they have a problem with our silly name I don't want to hang out with them.
sh.itjust.works Main Community
Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.
Does he know that x.com
is literally one of the biggest website on the Internet?
That's partly why I'm here. I don't want a big place where every normie shows up, and it just becomes facebook. Does this specific sever want to become a mega-platform?
Are people actually sharing fediverse links directly? I just save the image or copy the link the post is linking to, and share that.
Yeah, why not? They obviously suck and I did have a couple of "I'm not clicking that, wtf" reactions. Only then do I save and send the image.
Yeah, why not?
So they don't need to click something to see the thing, they just get it?
Cross-post the thing to another instance, then share that link.
You could always use lemmy.org
How do we know that instance will stay afloat though? I see search engines indexing Lemmy already, but they're all scattered with whatever instance they happened to get in touch with.
