Whenever barrier to entry is discussed for lemmy, and reducing confusion for different servers is brought up, all of the isolationist comments come out of the woodwork.
Apparently redditors who are too dumb to register should stay on reddit?
We have a platform that seems to be working and slowly growing. Shouldnt we want good defaults in place to give the best possible experience with minimal user effort?
But it will eat a share of the pie, which is kind of good for killing Reddit.
A lot of people think that Twitter as an example died overnight, it did not.
Mastodon took a good share of users out of it and then Bluesky came and finished it off.
Giant platforms don’t die, they just keep bleading users till they become irrelevant(as Tumblr fer example).
