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.
This used to be what people said about digg and then about reddit
early days Reddit and the whole Digg vs Reddit thing was wild. I remember someone made like a stupid long comic about digg vs reddit. and yeah Early reddit was much like what Lemmy is now.
