So I like the idea of going back to the decentralized net but honestly how could that ever gain enough popularity? We need faaaar better UX/UIs to interact with these platforms that exist. I would love a decentralized reddit where regular people can find and search, etc.
I completely agree with you, UX will make or break Lemmy.
When Tweetbot was killed off by Twitter’s API changes, Tapbots pivoted by creating a Mastodon client. The new client introduced a great UX for interacting with Mastodon instances.
We need this to happen with something like the Apollo app.
I’ve deleted my account, like on Twitter and Facebook. Decentralized and opensource is the future of the real Internet. Not this corpnet.

It doesnt need to be popular as the centralized internet, it just needs a dedicated community, like 25 years ago.
