30 sats \ 2 replies \ @Scoresby 12 Jun \ on: Feedback on the new user experience meta

Great job on this! It made me realize the only time I ever see freebie is in recent when someone posts a bio.

It may be a little intimidating for a new user who doesn't know anything about lightning.

One of the things I absolutely loathe about reddit is the way it makes new users feel. It's all harsh warnings and admonishments.

I really like the idea of seeding new accounts with some CCs.

Thanks for the thoughtful notes.

Yeah, I really despite Reddit's new user experience. On SN, maybe you feel ignored. On Reddit, I felt attacked, lol. As a new user to r/coffee my first post was a simple question asking why kettle prices have gone up so much, and it got modded with no explanation as to why (i even did a search to make sure it wasn't a duplicate). Similar things have happened on other subreddits.

This happened to me too! It's horrible: either they give you these intense warnings like "Do not participate until you are a seasoned user or we will ban you!" or they just let you post and send you a note later saying you have been banned. It's pretty rough.
