Just an old retired guy who’s still a leftist.
I ran a Hubzilla site for a while, and first, it was a pain in the ass to get set up.
Second, the UI is terrible.
Third, Hubzilla seems entirely populated by cranky old men, inexplicable foreigners, and FOSS advocates who talk of nothing else.
I shut it down.
Can we poison our posts by putting a nonsense “signature” at the end of each of them?
The communities tab now gives a dropdown menu that appears to be correct.
I clicked on the “Communities” drop down and got a site wide error.
The very first page I tried going to off that landing page errored out.
Because the big money is always trying to find the weakest link?
Gotta be contrarian here and say: using floorplans as your graphic frame for controls is very inefficient. And not very good graphical design.
Don’t even have to ask that much. “I support the working class over billionaires” would have done it.
Conversely, the average FOSS programmer has no idea how to either design for simplicity or document for the novice.
Just from the summary, I’m nearly certain this would be better as a web article.
This all sounds great, but everyone should keep in mind that we have NO way of verifying that the OP does not work for an intelligence agency.
Getting the core of FB users to move off FB is going to be REALLY hard.
Because people who would love to get off of it are connected there to people who think it is just fine. And those people are also afraid of change.
