What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?

    Not just kids. I’m surrounded by adults that need me to guide them through a simple buying process or to download files. My opinion is that the instance login is just a massive barrier that will make it impossible for the general public to make lemmy and Mastodon mainstream

      I was a geek squad agent for several years and yeah the adults were usually more clueless than the younger clients. Computers have been a part of the work place for nearly 40 years… I’m not expecting most people to know hardware and maintenance but just being a competent user is rare.

      Yeah the instances are really confusing for a normal user. Imagine if something like discord worked like that, where you had to have a separate account for every single channel you join.
