Coop Halo was pretty good. I could see it working for Doom too.

does it have a name
I can't believe I'm suggesting this, but I have absolutely no programming experience and no knowledge of anything that happens behind the usual user-facing side of a UI and I just finished a project involving a ton of SQL and VBA and API calls using only ChatGPT. I basically just told it to treat me like a moron and gave it all the details I could. It took a while troubleshooting the dozens of errors along the way, but everything works now and I learned a ton.
I used it in a project 5 or 6 years ago, and my experience was basically this. It's strong in the direction of the layers but brittle between layers. Works great for some applications, but I'd definitely experiment with it before committing to use it on anything where the strength of the print matters because it's really only useful in two dimensions.
I'm 40 and drive an 84 El Camino, you're spot on lol
“Gen Z adults (21%) are less likely than all generational groups except millennials (21%) to identify as Republican.”
Wow, this actually makes me proud to be a millennial.

I agree that the extra step of having to choose an instance is a hurdle that will turn some people away. In my own experience with it I had to apply to the first one I tried to join (never got a reply), had a timeout on the second one, and didn't successfully create an account until my third attempt. That's more effort than some would be willing to put forth.
However I really don't think the confusing nature of the Fediverse is that big of a deal. I don't think I understand it at all, and it doesn't seem like I need to for now. Download Jerboa, make account, switch feed from 'Local' to 'All', and oh look it's basically my RIF experience again.
Over and over on Reddit I saw people say "Lemmy will never take off because it's too confusing for average users," but I just don't think that's the case.
Also hey it's also my first comment ever
This is probably an unpopular take, and it should be noted that I'm just totally disregarding the whole personal data aspect of this, but... I kinda appreciate it when I'm given some kind of way to provide feedback on stuff like this. If there was one part of the process that was more absurd than even I expected, or if just the whole thing is shit, I prefer to be able to express that. Maybe it just makes me feel better I guess. Sometimes it's cathartic to chew out a survey form over something that was so egregious that it's made me angry.
I'm also a huge advocate for exit interviews though. Somebody quits, ask them why, what was good, what was bad. Fire someone, ask them just the same. A lot of my work experience has been yearly contracts where termination is scheduled, expected, and common, but I do think other types of employers would benefit from actually proactively seeking feedback.
This example probably isn't that and the employer is probably shit, but I just wanted to put that out there.
