Tell you what, you're not allowed to reply for 24 hours. Go think about it. Imho a better comparison would be not being allowed to post within the first 24 hours after signing up. Sure it would be annoying once, but not much of a deal in the long term. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Syrc@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago Imho a better comparison would be not being allowed to post within the first 24 hours after signing up. Sure it would be annoying once, but not much of a deal in the long term. The annoyance for more tech-savvy people is not the point, the issue is that it’s blatant railroading. If a casual user needs to use, let’s say, a browser, they’re completely oblivious to the difference between them, and you tell them “you can choose between Edge or Firefox, but for Firefox you’ll have to wait 24h” it’s logical that they’ll pick Edge. Then they’ll get used to it and never switch. It’s hindering the competition, basically market manipulation. permalink fedilink source parent
