I feel like the people I interact with irl don’t even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.
I just don’t understand how it’s more “techy” than Reddit. I just want our user count to keep going up.
I think we should focus less on hyping federation/decentralization and more on how there are no ads and the content is really coming from actual users (and maybe a leftist bias).
I got a few friends on here by explaining that choosing a server is no different from choosing an email provider. Everyone understands email, that you can communicate with most other email users no matter what their provider is.
You know I don’t think the whole “everyone understands email” is the gotcha that most people think it is. I honestly don’t think everyone understands email, much less the underlying structure that can be compared to Lemmy.
Email is that thing where I send birthday postcards off yahoo from right?
E-mails are femboys who use their charms to get twitch stream donations actually. You might be thinking of Gmail?
Now I’m confused. So E-mails are guys that go full send, like e girls?
It’s federated. Have to choose your instance and create an account. Then not to mention what happens if your instance shuts down.
