I tried reading the replies to gain context but it just sounds like cryptobro nonsense so i checked out

I'm an older millennial, and I don't understand this trend lately of labeling anything slightly technical as "crypto/techbro" shit. It's like people see the word "server" or "IP address" or some shit and just get triggered by it. WTF? Can someone explain this trend? Back in my youth we didnt mind learning new shit, you HAD to in order to make effective use of your time online. That's how the early Internet was built. By "techie" people.

I mean, I'm not a certified mechanic and have zero interest in working on cars, but I figured out how to change my own timing belt with a youtube tutorial.

I agree with you, but I think this is more an issue with the way crypto and its advocates have firehose-marketed that corner of technology, than an issue with laymen who aren't interested. Crypto, web 3.0, etc. have been hyped as the future of the internet, coopting general concepts like decentralization as belonging to scheme-y crypto stuff rather than just a principle that crypto (ostensibly) aligns with.

I never got into any of that myself and am hyper-skeptical of it, but (hopefully) I know enough to determine that the Fediverse is not on the same plane as all that. I also wouldn't blame anyone who can't tell the difference.

I don't know if its directly related to the present reaction, but us older millenials grew up with a different exposure to computers and the internet. It was still evolving so much, we had to figure it out. Younger millenials and Zoomers especially never had to deal with all of that - most of what they grew up on were iPhones and iPads and Chromebooks where everything is apps and userfriendly and "just works." For example, Zoomers don't even understand how file systems work. They never had to deal with them. It might not make sense to us, but the phrase "federated servers" is probably gibberish to a lot of younger folks.
