npub1cmgqvz7xr07euwkum3mjghjqcu4d3k2fcyf6g4uwwe5ggnd6fetq0wrzd2 (npub1cmg…rzd2) To add: "You have to know the conventions and iconography of a given user interface". It's why people hate switching from windows to Mac, or vice versa (or LOL, Linux). It's not that the other option is bad, it's that it's different and now they have to update their muscle memory to click the mouse slightly differently in different locations, understand different focus behaviours, all of that.
Change means learning, and people only ever want to learn things that interest them, which is why nerds who love tech will change but regular folk who just want to get their work done will not.
Anyway, I've drifted off topic. This is what the "Social media should work out the box intuitively" folk don't realise is actually happening. No social media software has EVER been like that, there's only "Stuff I've used for years and can operate in my sleep," and everything else.
