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.
The Leftist bias is a selling point? That’s literally all social media except Twitter
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.
Almost no one understands email I would be surprised if the number is higher then 7 or 8 percent of users that use email understand what it even is beyond the basic statement of “it’s like a letter”.
People barely understand how mail works in the first place.
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.
