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.
I find the echo chamber to be nice when it is semi tech-minded people that aren’t an unending diatribe of reposted wholesome stories/fake chatgpt posts/godawful jokes in the comments that stopped being funny in 2012.
I agree. It feels like Hacker News; it’s better than having the general public saying stupid things in every comment.
