One thing that will likely be a huge dealbreaker is the spam-stopping wait period that many instances are using, but this could be getting used to drive new users to low-sub instances. While the tactic is understandable, many will likely be turned off by it.
Personally, I think the learning curve is part of wanting to use Lemmy, and even Linux has been abstracted enough that it can be used by just about anyone now.

Reminds me a bit of an old-school shell for windows that was called GeoShell. That was a long time ago.
Corporations doing shady shit to keep their revenue streams from being interrupted is par for the course these days. Thanks for posting, now I know not to use Deezer.
