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.
It’s also why I think people say they don’t want lemmy to change, that they want to filter out people, whenever the state of the platform is discussed, how it’s not user friendly and properly thought out to be scalable.
If the normies and corpos overpower the nerds and weirdos, then Lemmy dies just like every platform before it.
