or maybe some other terminology would be better? lots of people get confused when you ask them to choose an instance, sometimes I think even the word “proxy”, “host”, or “hub” is simpler

the specific terms aren’t my point, just a discussion to see if we can come up with a better name

    Look man, I’m super tech-savvy and I straight-up almost never made it over here from reddit because the explanation of it that someone was giving just sounded shitty and convoluted. Now think about how much effort someone who uses Gmail as a substitute for knowing how email works is willing to put in.

      I have met many people who refer to themselves as super tech-savvy, it usually means the conversation is going to be a lot of nodding and smiling on my part.

      Obviously I don’t know you, but your comment gives me that vibe.

      Now on topic, why does growth matter? Who cares about the tech illiterate? Big doesn’t mean good.

      Every site I’ve been part of has been a better experience when limited to erudite access.

      If a person cannot think for five seconds of their time, what value do they bring?
