I think most common people are accustomed to “being fed”, rather than exploring for themselves. That’s why most of the original platforms were just getting copy pastes from other platforms. Originality requires effort.
I personally have been looking at lemmy thinking what’s new… Only to realise that maybe it’s time “I” create that new. :=
It isn’t very easy to get hold of for the “uninitiated”. Which is partially a good thing, in my opinion. Meaningful interactions require effort.
You mean to say… They are preemptively manipulating people?? Noooo!
I agree with the “work required to get away”. The User Experience is a huge job. Most open source projects are targeting the functionality.
