You've never been on the internet before lemmy?

:) Since the 90s! But nowhere, and I do mean nowhere, is as snotty and assumptive about the man-on-the-street's tech savvy.

Yeah I'd agree its probably over assumed here more than other places, but it's definitely not uncommon in other online spaces... I find it hard to believe it's something you've never seen before unless the only other space you've been is Instagram or tumblr and only following food posts or similar...

FTFY:

The assumption of tech savvy around here is wild! Never been in another online space where [all the] people [there] assume everyone is at a reasonable tech level.

You get me. I meant it's worse here than other places. Same for assuming political savvy. Believe it or not, there are shitloads of Americans who don't know about 1/1000th of Trump' crimes. "Oh I don't listen, politics is all bullshit."

Commented on Trump's dementia to a friend the other day, "Yeah, but wasn't Biden pretty bad too?" That's where the "man on the street" is at. :(

The 'you' in the comment from the top of this thread is addressing the average lemmy user, the man on the street being a fool is nearly a given ๐Ÿ˜…
