Anyone can get past a dog, nobody f$;&&) with a lion.
Anyone can get on mastodon, nobody f&)@) with emacs.
But seriously the barrier to entry is high enough you will only get the true geeks.
- scubbo 1y agoA barrier-to-entry isn't necessary if no non-geeks want to join in the first place (which is, IME, true of Mastodon). Mastodon has successfully made itself a place that no non-geek would ever _want_ to spend time on anyway, so no barriers-to-entry are necessary to maintain that state. (You can decide for yourself whether this comment is praising or criticizing Mastodon)
