The problem is that those redditors are basically whining and demanding the impossible - an explanation that is, at the same time: comprehensive, newbie-friendly, accurate, and succinct.
(Note that I'm not even talking about 100WattWalrus individually, but the redditors as a collective thing.)
It's definitely a concern. People ask these questions about Lemmy, but no one asks how the horizontal scaling of Twitter functions and then complains that your explanation is too technical.
Yes, it is. And more importantly, it's a collective problem: user A (like that one) wants a technical explanation, you give it, then user B complains that it's too technical or too verbose or "ackshyually this is inaccurate".
I feel like the best approach might be a mix. Basically, what people have been already doing to advertise Lemmy there.
