I feel like the people I interact with irl don’t even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.
I just did. The age verification is the only thing that looks slightly confusing, and anyone keen enough would deal with that fine. It’s not a technical skills/knowledge barrier, it’s just reading comprehension.
People ask how to make a Lemmy account all the goddamn time. You’re experiencing is preventing you from understanding how it looks to a new user. Go to any big sm platform and there’ll be so much less clutter on the screen and fewer things to do
