@Axolotl_cpp yeah, I've been down that road. And it has led to her yelling at me about how I know nothing about The Internet. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

@Die4Ever even that isnt' enough now-a-days because if its not "download this app" they can't figure it out. My teenage daughter gets so mad anytime I mention diong anything in a web browser.

@INeedMana I don't see many folks not understanding email they can pick yahoo.com or mail.ru and still send and receive mail with everyone they know. And most of us "on-boarded" to a "default" at one time, whether it was your OG ISP or gmail.com when you got your first Android, or icloud.com(?) when you got your original iPhone.

@INeedMana which is why I'm saying "force" them to.

 

Required move to ease onboarding?

I've been thinking more about the hurtle of getting friends and family to use federated/self-hosted services. One of the issues to onboarding is people not understanding the idea of picking an instance. This has led, in part, to "default" instances, like lemmy.world, that could grow so large it would almost defeat the idea.

I've been thinking that I really wish DeltaChat had a web client. I have had a MUCH more difficult time getting folks to try that out than even federated SNS. But I was thinking how the heck are you going to pull that off without delta@chaos.social having to host the overhead for a robust web client and possibly host a gigantic server system that has to grow exponentially to keep everyone's private encrypted chats from all the possible email providers, really defeating the goal of their project.

This morning, I thought of a possible solution to both problems. What if you have a built-in transfer requirement. So you start with a default, say pleb.joinmastodon.org or noob.delta.chat and after a certain time (3 months or something) you have to either transfer to a new instance, including hosting your own client for in browser decryption web access to your encrypted mail chats, or your account (in the case of #mastodon) or web client access (in the case of Delta Chat) is shut off.

Do you think this could work?

@7uWqKj clearly if you can accelerate to reach a velocity of 140 in km/h in 5 seconds you can also reach 100 km/h in 5 seconds by accelerating less quickly.

@copacetic what does this have to do with the automotive industry?

@summit @idunnololz it looks like @xz25 deleted this post on their instance, but its still showing in our community. Do you need to delete it on your end so that we don't get the same post on here three times? (Probably edited slightly each time, I didn't bother to check).

@GeekFTW that's a lot of hastags, and this is coming from a mastodon account ;-)

@MolochAlter What makes you think that?

@GeekFTW And you know who did it? It was me! It was me, the Wizard in the Sky! I did kableee and kabloom and there it was.

 

@squaredcircle if they were going to let R-Truth go anyway, they really should have made #SNME a Title vs. Career match.

Truth hadn't earned a shot, they could have said if he wanted to teach Cena a lesson the only way he could is if he put his #WWE career on the line.
