Let's be honest, Lemmy may not be the most difficult site on the internet, but the fact that it requires more thought than "sign up" is gonna drive away a lot of casual users of social media. Like the young ones.

    What is the sign up process like now on something like X or TikTok, phone verification via text message? I might think selfie, but they probably assume you will post those anyway so they don’t even need to ask.

    I know for some folks it's a barrier, but this always sounds weird to someone whose registration experience was "haha, funni name" ➡️ types in two fields and presses one button ➡️ fediverse citizen.

    Edit: it is somewhat more complicated these days, in that there are now three fields and a captcha.
