π€·ββοΈ there's got to be some place for the average person to go without being screamed at by some nerd calling them a boot licker.
I also think the "confusion" of fediverse is overblown. People aren't confused. First adopters who don't want to be screamed at by flying squid aren't telling friends and family to join.
The people here and their attitude towards people who don't agree with them are the problem.
And that's a structural problem. The ActivityPub was supposed to allow both the "average person" and the "nerd" to coexist in the same platform, without one getting too much in the way of the other; it doesn't.
I'm not sure on a good solution for that.
They don't coexist peacefully in life, why would they do it here?
My nerd and techy friends, even the more progressive ones, do just fine in most places.
Lemmy has the extremist and most angry.
They tolerate each other enough to get each into a corner and not interact much.
And yet that is not what we see in the Fediverse. Those "corners" don't exist here.
But your normie friends and family would fit in a lot better if they simply read some T H E O R Y.
For many people, learning things and reading are anathema.
i just learned that word a few hours ago!
