Not just UI, but simplicity of operation. The closer to “it just works” a system/program is, the more palatable it is to adopt.

Sometimes it’s nice to know where you even start, then verify from there.

Asking chatgpt can be super useful to get info. I just don’t understand why people don’t try to verify what it says before just re-posting like fact.

Honestly solar panels and electric cars. I know those existed over 15 years ago, but they weren’t serious market options until like 5 or so years ago.

It’s a red flag to those who think you’re going to share internal info.

Hell, it can filter out tech people too. I’m a programmer by trade, but I almost dipped on lemmy because the onboarding is confusing enough. Like, I obviously (mostly) figured it out, but I did consider going “eh fuck it” and dipping. The site is ultimately a luxury and not a requirement, so effort or confusion required to get all started up is also something that’ll drive me to consider it not all worth it for some social media I’m not even sure I want to be a part of yet.

I need a reminder of what hexbear is about. I recall something… off.
