Posting about posting.
It really is the Linux of twitters, and that person seemed to be completely unable to understand that the "overwhelm with options" approach they were going with trying to evangelize to June was just entirely counter productive.
Friction. Friction to the desired experience.
Yeah yeah yeah all that ink spilled on "experiences dumbed down" and turning users from users into mere consumers, content, dumbing down experiences
But that is the thing. Not everyone wants or can be a power user. Not everyone wants to build or configure EVERYTHING.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN EASY to say "ok what kinda posting do you want" and
just point to the appropriate instance for shit
not "you have all these optionsssss"
if you want to evangelize about something to someone
you have to think as a fucking casual user
"what is your need"
not "you have all these tools, figure it out yourself"
