This is at the top of all of the mastodon servers I have an account on. If someone lacks the curiosity to click the word explore, then that is on them, not on the tech.

If someone lacks the curiosity to click the word explore

The cries of every dev throughout programming history. Why are the users so stupid?

But the thing is, uses are stupid. People get confused if you put "sign in" instead of "log in'. If lots of people think that Mastodon is confusing then Mastodon is confusing. The consensus cannot be wrong. You might disagree with it but it cannot be wrong.

It requires a UX overhaul by someone who actually understands UX and researches it. I used to do UX as my job specialization and trust me everyone thinks it's easy and it isn't.

I actually don't disagree much about the Dev/UX parts of your comment. But you should take note that I was replying to the statement:

There doesn’t seem to be a “discover” feature

It isn't a consensus, though. If it were, nobody would be debating it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Consensus doesn't require everyone in the world to agree it just requires the majority to agree and clearly the majority do otherwise the comment that it's confusing would not have been made.

It's not up for debate, people find it confusing.

An overwhelming majority, yes. Do you a have a survey or study that demonstrates this?

clearly the majority do otherwise the comment that it’s confusing would not have been made.

This makes no sense. Anybody can make any comment. Just because I say a thing doesn't mean that the majority agrees with me.
