Believe it or not there was once a lot of good will towards Reddit.

Nope you can’t access them to discourage people from using Reddit, that’s the protest.

The whole point is that you can’t access them.

As a Dvorak user, Dvorak is pretty terrible for single-finger typing since the focus is on hand-alternation. If I had the choice I’d probably choose this.

There have been layouts developed for single or limited-finger use and I think it’s a shame they never caught on.

I presume they could but then those subs would be unmoderated which would be a huge legal risk.

It happens to me with books, and also equally often with podcasts.

My theory is it happens when something else has (often subconsciously) hijacked the language processing part of my brain. E.g. if I’m reading and there’s another conversation going on in the background that I’m slightly interested in. (The reason I mentioned podcasts is because this revelation happened to me when I discovered that I can do a sudoku puzzle while listening to a podcast but not a crossword.)

Mastodon STILL has UX issues, and the rest of ActivityHub and the Fediverse are impenetrable to the average person. That will change over time, but in the meantime, I can’t even get people to use Signal for god’s sake, let alone explain which Lemmy instance is best for them.

Wouldn’t it make it so much worse? If getting people to sign up for a Lemmy instance is a hard sell, it would be even harder telling them that they’ve now got to choose an instance that doesn’t federate with Meta stuff. (unless you’re fine with letting Meta in, which I’m not).

Needs more context, if it’s a school day and it’s in the sun I don’t see the problem with taking advantage of it?
