@stefan @SciPolTech @ghouston @oblomov @libreoffice people are "lying" because they're discounting that their friend groups are the ones who educate them.
"There's this new site called Facebook, let me help you sign up." Followed by "everyone can see the message you just wrote.
Let me show you how to..." etc.Expecting zero friction is exhausting.
@wavefunction I don't know, I'm still just not really convinced that people lying about how difficult Mastodon/fediverse is being a major reason people prefer Bluesky.
But then you also say people expect zero friction.
Is this actually true? Any way to back this up?
People complain about user experience on Bluesky all the time. No edit button. No private posts. Etc. And as Bluesky slowly works towards greater decentralization, we'll see more challenges.
But I trust that there will be more attention put towards easing those there, rather than blame the user.

@libreoffice nice! Can anyone tell me how good their excel alternative is? I wanna try it out
@pricklypear @libreoffice try it - it won't cost you anything
It's more than adequate for my use, but then I'm not in accounting with horrendous spreadsheets that should really be a database instead
... -
seriously the replies are hilarious
"So please delete your account here, otherwise stop annoying people with your moral compass"
"Decentralized is not the future"
"I never understood why Open Source should mean pretending to be poor and small"
"Mastadon is already quite terrible when you start with it I fucking hate INSTANCES"
"But Mastodon is communist"
"Mastodon is fascist social media"
i do NOT miss twitter
@benroyce @SteveFoerster @libreoffice Most feels like trolls than else.

right and if i were still on twitter it would be debilitating
but after having not been on twitter in years it's funny because it's so stupid

@libreoffice the right decision. You only have to tweet a short message from time to time on #x that everbody can switch to #mastodon for real info on #libreoffice

@libreoffice I've read the first few replies. Nothing unexpected. There's no one in Mastodon, you have to stay in X, etc.
You know what, the Internet is large and if you want to know about something you will add it to your RSS or open an account in another network. News sites still exist and LO shows up there too.

@libreoffice
You may communicate Musk-free https://nitter.poast.org/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 !"No one uses mastodon."
"You're not serious!"
"You need to stay here to keep in touch."
What I didn't know: "Well Mastodon is controlled by worst A group of Zionists So you can keep it to yourself" -

@alan @libreoffice some good advice I once heard was "never criticize someone for doing the thing you want them to do"
@TimeLime @alan @libreoffice
Was't that an advice for reacting on stupid children's behaviour? -

@libreoffice Very good. I wonder what the comments under your Twitter post say... But not enough to actually make an account there (ew).

@bammerlaan @libreoffice You can see the replies without an account: https://xcancel.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158
They are something else, truly. -
@libreoffice @clarissawam but somehow you do not have a profil picture which seems pretty weird. Maybe invest in one now?
@marion_grau if you dont see a profile picture for @libreoffice , that is probably due to a caching error or federation error on your instance climatejustice.social

@libreoffice
Hopefully others will follow suit -
@stefan @ghouston @oblomov @libreoffice yeah, I'm all in favour of usability improvements. Nothing complex is ever finished and certainly not perfect. I just don't see how anyone who can function unaided in the general world can't use mastodon, especially someone who has used Twitter / X. Really the only 'issues' I can imagine are initial uncertainty about choosing an instance, and the fact that 'feed' will be very quiet unless / until you proactively populate it.
@SciPolTech my pet theory is that for some reason these people are using twitter on desktop. Using Mastodon in an app is ridiculously easy imo, but in webui there is still friction with the federated nature.
