One: Websites should be made to the web standards and not for a specific piece of tech. Would you ask people to rework everything if Firefox magically became the “new Chrome” in a few years? Isn’t the main idea of this place to be better than the corporate dystopia we’re all trying to avoid?
Two: Fediverse IS NOT big enough to purposefully screw up people’s experience in an attempt to force them into changing their browsing habits. This would do more harm than good in the eyes of many potential users. Do you really think they would be willing to switch browsers they used for years just so they can check out a platform that’s smaller and with less content than its corporate counterparts?
Don’t punish - explain, convince and (if you have the know how) work on making a switch easier for an average user. That’ll not only be more productive but also bring more willing and potentially active participants.
That’s how I feel about it at least.
I’d say no, for two simple reasons.
