For now, i don't know how to explain it and make it comprehensible to tech illiterate, let alone incite them to give a try for longer than the very short term.

If you are yourself a tech illiterate, which method worked for you?

If the tech illiterate is someone you know, which method was successful to convince them?

You know how you and your friends with different email services can still email each other?

Now imagine all the messages you "email" back & forth are instead messages you've posted on a message board, and anybody can read & reply

To address another complex matter if they ever ask:

You know how your email service can help sort or block spam in your incoming email? Hosts of one message board service can filter/block other particular people's/services' messages from showing up to your feed, too
