This is a follow-up to Tim Chambers’ “The Seven Deadly UX Sins”, in which we collaboratively review where and how the network has improved over the past six months, with a lot of different initiatives to show for it!
#2 is a really dumb criticism. Nobody is getting confused with having 3 feeds, as they’re fairly straightforward. You want just your subscriptions? Use the “Home” feed. The other 2 are just different flavors of Reddit’s “All” feed. Not that hard to figure out.
the “sins” read like that have expectations that the fediverse will be just like the centralized platforms; it’s not and will fail if they try to become like them.
I disagree. Decentralization has its own quirks when it comes to usability. This is not a call to exactly emulate centralized platforms, but a recognition of where many of the pain points are, and how we can collectively improve the UX to make it a better experience for newcomers.
