    Is it elitist to think bad UX is a smaller problem than core political ideology, especially for a group of people who’re far more computationally literate/flexible than at leas 75% of the population.

    Some of these people are tech workers for fuck sake. It would be elitism if these where people without much experience around computers.

    Its not elitism if people are just choosing not to put effort into shit they claim matters deeply to them.

    No the one that pisses me off are the people who understand that computers take effort and the only way to fix that is to have an organization that takes care of that effort for you.

    For example to replace discord your only options are: Corporate shit Startups which are a few extra users away from IPO’ing into corporate shit Something open source selfhosted

    I get why normal folk don’t wann self host. What I can’t stand is the complaints about using other peoples self hosted servers because you can’t be fucked to remember more than two URLs/passwords as if your browser doesn’t have bookmakers and you don’t have a password manager.

    Like fuck sure, its cool you don’t want to do system administration. But the only way an extra site is inconvenient is if you’re incapable of the computer equivalent of wiping your own ass.

    These are young anticapitalist, chronically online queers I’m talking about too.

    If they’re not willing nobody is and its fucking soul crushing to know.
