Let’s agree to disagree. We both have different opinions and I’m not in the mood to go over and over and over with the chats about something we won’t agree on anyway.

You don’t need to be tech-savvy to use a social media.

You are entirely right when it is about centralized social media (Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter and the likes).

However, for example; Lemmy and Mastodon you at least need to be a bit tech-savvy.

• Making account is different but then you get;

1. The multiple instances.
2. Multiple communities that are the same name.
3. What is exactly decentralization.
4. Federation.
5. Difference instances can give different results (blocking, rules, and what you can and cannot see from other instances).
6. How Moderation works is different than the usual platforms.
7. Community discovery is different. Searching for something can be quite difficult on Lemmy.
8. Lemmy’s community has a lot of tech-jargon which non-tech savvy people might find difficult to wrap their head around.
9. How the banning system works on Lemmy is different than the usual platforms as well.

I don’t introduce them to Fediverse and don’t talk about it None of the people I know in real life are tech-savvy except one guy.
