Actually if there were usecases of facebook & other centralised web blog sites that was like email services, people would get it, but now that they’re used to it it’s not “natural” to get it. Most of the time, I speak of this e-mail example (even if a lot of people just use gmail. Also sometimes communities are abandonned and nobody take them back, which is a big of a stopper here. Also, nobody gets how you can post a comment from mastodon to a peertube video and why you would do it. But maybe at some point we’ll grow bigger and answer more nicely to all these legitimate questions from all those non-technical users that wan’t to free themselves🤞
Let’s spread the hype I guess ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I was working phone support a few years back and, when I asked this one lady what her email address was, she got confused. I started running out of ways to ask such a simple question when finally, all exasperated, she said (and I shit you not): “but I don’t have e-mail, I have G-mail!”
So yeah, I get what you’re saying, people’s brains do be rotted these days, sometimes I just forget.
