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.
then it just became an aggregate forum where you can discuss many niches without being censured like with alot forums from a single mod/owner.
