What is misskey? I am a fediverse user and I don't even know what that is.

Goddamnit! I love this and want to share it, but don't know anyone else that will appreciate it. Is this.. irony?

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 2 points 5 hours ago

This isn't just Reddit with extra geeks?

To top it all off, I share this to discord groups where nobody even knows what the fediverse is.

When I tell people the only social media I use is Lemmy, I always wait patiently for follow up questions immediately after, which never come, because nobody gives a shit about what obscure social media the 35 year old man uses.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Hey I am not an 35 year old man! I am still in my 20's!

...well, 29 actually, shit.

[–] Tencho@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

As a 23 year old man, i quite often get the follow up "whats lemmy" but nothing beyond that.

“It’s like Reddit but less”

[–] Tencho@lemmy.world 29 points 17 hours ago

"Less bad?" They ask.

"Well yes, but also just less."

[–] Denvil@lemmy.one 36 points 20 hours ago

I told one of my co-workers I used Lemmy, and he actually used Mastodan, so I'm the one who ended up asking him questions

[–] arken@lemmy.world 47 points 21 hours ago (10 children)

I just say "I frequent a few niche forums". No follow up questions. I'm old as well.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 19 hours ago

they all think you're talking about 4chan

Early in my career I learned not to overestimate anybody's familiarity with my field.

If everyone took privacy, ethics, and computing as serious as the nerds in the fediverse the world would be an objectively better place.

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 12 points 17 hours ago

Story of my life. I'm so annoyed when the response is to try to get me to shut up my flattering my intelligence. "Wow you use big words, anywayyyy". Id rather you tell me you just don't care. Then I can stop wasting my time. It took me a long time to realize what was going on, lmao.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 54 points 23 hours ago (17 children)

I’ve never felt like a bigger idiot than when I try to explain the fediverse to normal people.

[–] wdx@feddit.org 24 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Hey.. so you know about Email, right?

How you're with Gmail and I with.. say Proton. And we can still send Emails to each other? ...

Is my go to approach

Not even big instances, but big platforms I would say. Like, if you're lucky someone might have heard about Mastodon, but that's pretty much it.
