Compared to established, age-old platform? Yes, we’re less developed. But do you know what’s even worse? Corporate greed! Rest assured, we’ll improve and mature over time.

    I’d argue signing up for a website isn’t technically challenging in 2023. And I wasn’t implying it had anything to do with morals. Someone turned off by the thought of having to learn to use a platform isn’t likely to bring anything valuable to the table.

      Willingness to learn a new platform is in no way correlated with general life knowledge. Even if someone isn’t contributing to the code base or moderation or creating communities, there are absolutely people that contribute in the form of engagement or other areas of knowledge.

      If I want to connect with, say, people that know about permaculture, animals, how factory management works, or a group of mom’s doing a book club. These people can know really interesting things without also (necessarily) being tech savvy and there should absolutely be space for them on social media. User accessibility is not a bad thing.
