Exactly. Most Fediverse fans always go on a rant about “corporations”, “enshittification”, whatever, when they don’t understand that not everyone will take/have time to learn about these things. Not everything is simple as in just click a big “download” button or “create account”. It’s those new extra steps that confuse those people, some who are of old age, or never saw a desktop computer before. It needs actual designers.
Same thing with other FOSS projects.
No, no. It’s definitely about “getting fucked” as SnotFlickerman succinctly put it. It’s just users getting ravaged by corporations so hard they don’t notice care—or something.
People on Lemmy are not all one person or a hivemind, so that depends on who you ask.
Personally I wouldn’t mind it if those people’s values aligned with the values of the fediverse, I think it would be beneficial to us and to them (in getting them off corporate social media and reducing corporate influence in society), but if their values do not align with ours it will only ruin what we have here and potentially just make Lemmy another corporate centralised social media, reducing or removing outright any wider societal benefit in my opinion.

Make up your mind fellas. Do you guys want more people to join or not?

It’s not that serious lol, just a lighthearted joke. I just found it funny that you and the people earlier in comment thread had opposing views.
