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🤞
I was working phone support a few years back when I asked this one lady what her email address was, and she seemed confused by that question. I started running out of ways to ask something so simple 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.
A sentence i like to use is: "imagine if you could use your twitter (or rather the fedi equivalent mastodon or something) account and can watch YT videos and even comment on there (also here the fedi software peertube)
I say that including the () parts (but they are quieter)
