@rauschma I've done bits of coding in the past - but I'm not a technical person really. I like to explore and figure out all the features available in the tools I use. At work I was considered an Excel guru, but really I was just willing to poke around, do research and figure out how to make it do what needed doing. I'm more someone who knows what's deep in the menus and options, than someone who can code my own software.
@rauschma When I came to Mastodon I just took the time to figure it out. I can understand most things if they're explained clearly. I managed to use a tool that found Masto profiles on my Twitter friends list. I figured out how to move servers without losing my followers and following lists.
Some people seem too impatient and if they can't do it all instantly they give up.
