  • People may disagree with how BlueSky is organized and architected, but I get why they decided to do what they did. User experience.

    Their architectural decisions mean that people don’t have to worry about instances confusing people, and the org structure means is easy to staff a proper dedicated experience team that can be working, planning, and testing before big expensive decisions are committed to code.





  • Whenever Lemmy or Masto gets a flood of new users, a portion of them never make it past the instance selection and totally bail.

    The user experience was designed by people who literally respond to user feedback by telling users to commit new code to the project.

    It’s clearly designed by engineers who assume other users will be just like them.
