Lemmy

Technology skills don't work by intuition; they work by learning.

People say "intuitive" when they mean "familiar to something I've already learned".

For example, novice programmers often say that a programming language that resembles the first language they learned "is intuitive", while a language that looks different "is unintuitive".

People who learned C first, used to argue that Python was "unintuitive" because it doesn't use {} curly braces around code blocks.

That's not intuition. That's familiarity. Once they become familiar with Python, they no longer talk about the absence of {} around code blocks as "unintuitive".

Here, there are users coming from centralized services like Reddit, Facebook, or Twitter. One of the things that they have to learn is that this is not a centralized service; you have to care about what instance you're looking at, or what instance a community is hosted on.

I don't know about it. Look even at the usernames. It's @name@instance.addr, it's structured like an email. Even for instances, /c/piracy is not a thing, it is !piracy@lemmy.ml in Lemmy world. Even Mastadon has the same structure of name@instance.

Every community has their own sets of rules, own set of moderators and culture. If you don't like how one is moderated, go to another one (basically how reddit works too, except there you need to change to name to make an alternate community)
