I couldn't get my brother over the new user hump, and he's way more technically inclined that I am in many ways. I build PCs (he doesn't), but he runs things like Tor and Linux, dual boots, etc. He's also more politically left than I am, at least through overall experience (he actively canvased for Bernie and such). He's the reason I even got into politics and learned that I'm a leftist. He hates the same things I do about reddit, so I thought for sure that he would click with Lemmy.

But it sounds like he inadvertently joined one of the bad instances and wound up being defederated pretty early on during the post-migration fiasco. I don't think he fully understood what was going on, and wound up leaving due to the negative experience and perceived censorship. Kind of a bummer. I tried to get him to join a new instance but he didn't want to go through the trouble of setting everything up, I guess.

He was very much in the wrong place at the wrong time.
