      It’s more complicated than signing up for Reddit, but really just by 1 degree.

      I’m lurking Reddit a bit on Apollo still and see so many posts that have “Grandma trying to figure out a smartphone” energy making it seem like some insurmountable task, or complaining about the questionnaire without stopping to realize what a tidal wave of signups is happening.

      Perhaps it’s for the best. If people can’t be bothered for something so simple, they might not be good fits anyways.

      There have been some privacy concerns regarding Lenny’s implementation (deleted posts and whatnot). Which has kept some users second-guessing the change. I have tried aether before coming here, but sadly, there are not enough people there.

      I just hope that the community from Reddit doesn’t spread itself out too much :(

        Why? Decentralisation is a good thing.

          Decentralisation is a good thing.

          Only if the community and information don’t get fragmented into smaller and smaller hard to find places.

            You mean, like Discord? There’s decentralisation which works (Fediverse) and decentralisation which doesn’t (gated/closed off communities like Discord).
