A month or two ago I made a few posts on reddit to nudge people to join PieFed
More details here
The posts got 500,000 views and a couple thousand people joined PieFed.

This is the insights of a Reddit community, as you can see the vast majority of people prefer using a mobile app.
~98% of users are using a mobile app. image

One issue I kept seeing in the comments was that there's no "PieFed" app on any of the app-stores.

I want to be able to tell people, "Hey there's this cool PieFed app, just search for it from the App-Store"

With age verification and other BS looming, the next Rexit is coming, we need to be ready. Ideally people can just comment, "Yea Reddit sucks, Just download PieFed from the app-store"

Can we make this happen? I'm sure it'll greatly benifit Voyager, PieFed and the Fediverse

I really hate the gatekeeping I see on the Fediverse, it's one of the few things I don't like about this place.

For how nice everyone is here, and how nice the interactions are, the "Oh please no, don't come here to this place, you are dumb/lazy, and I don't want dumb people here" is gross.

You don't know what's going on in peoples lives, if they have reading disabilities, or if they might speed read or have ADHD.

God forbid they don't thoroughly read through every line in a search result.

the percentage of people who might not read carefully for the reasons you mentioned is abysmally small compared to that of the people who can't be bothered to read.

do not use disabilities and such to defend your argument, it's distasteful.

I am literally one of the people who read like that.

It's not just about disabilities, a lot of people will read like that. It's inefficient to fully read everything when you're scanning options to find something you're looking for.

yeah and it's a pretty bad habit.

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not a conscious decision that I make.

Criticizing people for how they read is though.

habit /hăb′ĭt/ noun

  1. A recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition.

today you learned.

Where did I misunderstand the definition of habit?

criticism /ˈkrɪtɪsɪz(ə)m/ Criticism is the act of expressing disapproval, finding fault, or providing a reasoned judgment/analysis of a person, act, or work

Anyway, you seem to be a troll, or a unkind person. I'm blocking you now
