Gregory's Server@Jyoti considering some of the "OHMYGODTHISISHARD" from those in tech I've seen, who arguably "should" get it... I'm afraid I do judge that harshly, as it seems like learned helplessness and a lack of applying the knowledge they have

@Jyoti 100 yup, if someone's not tech savvy then yes I get it, it's more hoops to jump through than you might be used to (and figuring out "where to be" is a case of decision overload for a lot of people then!). If part of your JOB is making apps, or building server software, working with cloud services, etc etc... This stuff isn't hard, you've probably got the skills to set up your own instance for crying out loud!  The techy people - bah! I have little sympathy. But I *do* want to get more non-techy people on here! Would it make a difference if we did a #Marain to it? If we said, "What Mastodon have you got?" or "Which Mastodon are you on?" to highlight that there are different flavours of the same basic thing? Because saying "Get on Mastodon" does not work for non-tech people. It confuses more than it encourages. |

I'm afraid I have to agree with you.
Fair dos if someone isn't tech savvy - that's just people, we're all different. For example, I know fuck-all about sport and care even less.
BUT
I think sometimes TECHY PEOPLE trot out 'this is too hard' because they are too used to being babied by the existing walled gardens.
They won't even give it a go! It's frustrating.
