@catraxx @philbetts Remember that wikipedia is not an opinion site. It is a tertiary source. It should reflect the cited secondary sources.

If secondary sources from 2022 say the UX is bad then wikipedia article should reflect that. Here we can argue whether “excessively” correctly summarises the two articles.

If you'd like to update the article, look for all the sources that mention Fediverse UX, then cite and summarise them. If the sources mention UX is getting better then you can add that.

@catraxx The "send do mastodon.social" was done especially because a lot of people were turned away. Good move IMO, but when the developer making @PixelFed did something similar there was a big community pushback.

Going back to what you wrote about the Wikipedia article, it should be expanded. The first sentence from adoption section cites sources from 2022. Many of the issues raised were addressed already.

@catraxx Choosing a server is the first barrier. It is a barrier because you have to make a choice based on ZERO information. Why do I have to choose a server? Which one is good? What makes a good server?

Second barrier is: why can't I see all the replies? That sort of comes back to which server did you choose. From the POV of a person on a small server Mastodon feels half empty. From the POV of a popular person you get a lot of duplicated responses. That is annoying.
