Mastodon and SSB have terrible user interfaces. Centralization still makes the user experience way better and smoother, a necessary condition for a network effect and mass user adoption. I don't see these products going mainstream.
- archagon 4y agoPeople will wade through all sorts of terrible UI if their friends (or people they like) are using the app. See Snapchat.
