Hey everyone!

So we've been trying our best to listen to members of the community on how we provide updates and information to you fine folks! To that end, we would like to welcome a new secondary, fedi-friendly avenue, Mastodon.

https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld

We will be posting updates here in ADDITION to our normal [email protected] community. As both a supplement to our Discord server and a place for the community to directly interact with us via micro-blogging.

We feel this opens up a few neat doors for sure to keep communication open and transparent.

See you there 😉

You can theoretically follow them anywhere on the Fediverse.

What's your aversion to Mastodon?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Probably just didn't want to have to make yet another account

When it comes to for-profit companies, I wholeheartedly agree, as there is very little chance 100% of my activity on that site won't be sold to data-brokers. When it comes to most Fediverse stuff, I am not so worried. Use an email alias and a pseudonym.

I think the issue being taken is with how inconvenient making so many accounts can be. It's the primary issue with the Fediverse. The expectation to make a new account whenever you want to/have to join a new instance is incredibly off-putting for many people.

Why is it inconvenient? It takes <1 minute

I have no aversion to it. I just don't want to have to visit yet another site. It would be nice if it were consolidated to lemmy.world so that it just pops up on my feed rather than having to visit Mastodon on a regular basis.
