We're really building something here!
I disagree. At first I was frustrated that people were having so much difficulty with such a simple process, but after a while I adopted the mindset that if they're too stupid to figure out something so mundane then I don't want them here anyway. π€·ββοΈ
Eh. This is kind of a weak attitude.
Yeah. I donβt want just tech savvy people here. I want people with non-tech hobbies like gardening and home improvement to join too.
This is the important part. Iβm part of the big homebrewing (beer) community on Reddit, as well as some local subs for my home area. I donβt think a ton of those users can figure it out as easily as someone like myself.
Without diversity we are just a bunch of assholes yelling at each other about things we all already know.
It doesn't really require tech savvy, just a few minutes of reading. Anyone smart enough to have something interesting to add to a conversation can figure it out easily enough.
People can be smart in very different ways. I can navigate unknown and complicated webpages just fine, but am totally lost when it comes to crafts or many other areas of expertise I might not even be aware of. It all boils down to what you're used to.
