Omg so many light mode screenshots even against a dark mode backdrop. I literally can’t look at this right now… Maybe some other day.
Rednote and discord coming in with steel chairs.
As much as Facebook sucks, these things will never replace it.
Just clicking through them, it’s apparent it suffers from the same problem lemmy has. You have to read things and follow instructions and then choose an instance…
Yeah, you lost everyone at the first step of having to follow instructions. People just want a Sign Up button, and that’s it. That’s the only step they’re willing to go through.
If, after clicking Sign up, they then have to figure out which instance (whatever that is) they have to choose, they’ll just quit right there.
As much as Facebook sucks these things will never replace it.
Here we go again with the inaccurate fortune telling. Things can change, the code, apps and instances can improve.
I hope they do and replace Facebook. But in their current iteration, they won’t. That’s all I’m saying.

People need to create a similar message for Friendica
@Sunshine If you do, let me know. I will add it to my megathread here:

Such projects desperately need some professional UX/UI people involved. They always feel like they’re designed by back-end devs.
I also can’t imagine there being any difference to the instances as the concept of “local” doesn’t really make sense like it does with Lemmy. Maybe they should obfuscate the instance selection and the sign up process just puts you onto a random instance or one that’s best suited by geographical location.
No they aren’t, not till the boomers finally die off.
Gotta love ELSTER, my favorite social media platform.
Context
ELSTER, short for ELektronische STeuerERklärung (electronic tax return), is the official German software/web page for creating and submitting your tax return. It has the same logo as Diaspora.
Elster is also the German term for magpie.
The logo:
Tax Software called magpie
And they say Germans don’t have a sense of humor!
I doubt so. The association between magpies and theft is fairly strong in German:
(diebisch = thieving)

A logDice of 10.1 is extremely high by the way. For example, “war” has a score of 10.8 with “cold”, an 8.1 with “peace” and a 7.3 with “against terror”.
It’s actually not a company. It’s a website published by our government.
I’ll let you think your part about that…
