Yeah, the “difficult” part, I don’t understand. I’m 56 and figured out /kbin and Mastodon and how federation works within a few hours. So far, so good.
I was around for the early days of Fark, Digg, Twitter and Reddit. New sites are rough around the edges. That’s just the way it is. Things will get sorted in due time.
I really miss Stumbleupon. I found a bunch of really interesting niche websites that way.
I was on Fark for tennish years until I wasn’t interested in the direction they were taking and moved to Reddit where I eventually made a profile. Now, some 11 years later, Reddit is going in a direction I’m not interested in, so I’ve moved to kbin.
Whether Reddit (and Fark) carry on is irrelevant to me.
At one point we had a remote office in a bank. One of my coworkers, W, had a pretty severe intestinal condition.
Anyway, I’m using the facilities, and one of the bankers comes in and heads to a stall. His phone rings while he’s in there, which he answers. It’s obviously a work call.
By this time, I’m heading over to wash my hands, just as W slams open the door with an panicked look. He violently shoulders open a stall, drops trousers, and unleashes just an absolutely unholy flume of waste, accompanied by a couple of mercy flushes.
“Uh, I’ll call you back”.
I’m assuming lessons were learned that day.
