@McBinary What you're describing is one of the issues with the entire fediverse and it is the on boarding process.
A centralized social network just makes you go to Facebook (dot) com, then put your mail and password. Done!
But the fediverse isn't easier. People not only need to learn their username and password, also need to learn their server's name. Why? Because isn't the same to try to log in in lemmy.xyz than log in on lemmy.zyx
That makes non technical users get lost.

@McBinary As ironic this can get. There's actually a post on Reddit that can explain how most users are. This not only applies to old folks.
Link at the bottom.
I've seen many people get lost at simple things like setting up a Roku or even making a document in Google Docs, when they were so used to use Microsoft Word.
People hate a hard setting up process in everything, even if they have to do it just once.

Kind of off-topic, but that new bot on /r/shitposting is amazing. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone discussing here yet.
Ok so how is it amazing?
Amazing, as in fucking hilarious.
