You’re making the common mistake of believing that newcomers are somehow dumber than the ones who have been here a while.

No, Lemmy/piefed has a deep user base of people knowledgeable about Linux, programming, Star Wars, and a few other topics, but plenty of other topics still leave a lot to be desired.

For example, I’ve noticed that Lemmy’s userbase is probably below the internet average at picking up on satire and sarcasm.
