I am fairly tech savvy. It took me some time to understand the fediverse and how it works. The thing is, you need to read stuff to understand. That is well above the capabilities of like 80% of people. Oh, and you won't believe how many people I have met that have no idea what a server is or how email works. Trust me, the bar for entry is pretty high for the average joe. It's a good filter though.
Having spent the last couple of decades in tech support I'd say you're being very generous with the estimate of ~20% of people being willing and able to read so they can understand something...
Yeah. I was a lot more cynical before now. Half a year ago I would have said like 5%. And thank you for your service o7.
