There can be nice people who are bad at tech, just like there's racist technologists
Just because a group of nice well meaning Lemmy users is willing to suffer the pain of a poorly built app doesn't mean they should /have/ to suffer through it
It's sometimes nice to make nice things. Don't be too much of an HOA, they're new, it's not the end of the world.
Just because I'm not afraid of biking with cars, doesn't mean I don't recognize that American biking infrastructure is hostile. We could do more to make biking safer and easier. They'll struggle but they'll get the hang of it.
So too, with making nice apps to free the lay people from their digital walled gardens.
