    Gotta love ELSTER, my favorite social media platform.

    Context

    ELSTER, short for ELektronische STeuerERklärung (electronic tax return), is the official German software/web page for creating and submitting your tax return. It has the same logo as Diaspora.

    Elster is also the German term for magpie.

    The logo:

        It’s actually not a company. It’s a website published by our government.

        I’ll let you think your part about that…

    As much as Facebook sucks, these things will never replace it.

    Just clicking through them, it’s apparent it suffers from the same problem lemmy has. You have to read things and follow instructions and then choose an instance…

    Yeah, you lost everyone at the first step of having to follow instructions. People just want a Sign Up button, and that’s it. That’s the only step they’re willing to go through.

    If, after clicking Sign up, they then have to figure out which instance (whatever that is) they have to choose, they’ll just quit right there.
