@SoylentGroyper He's just squeezing people for money, I doubt he believes in anything he says, he changes personas so often. Before gab he was giving interviews where he was blabbing about how important feminism was in tech.

idk, big picture: Twenty years of social media/big tech has infantalized people. So yeah many people can't do much on their own because all the tools that empowered them to do so have been pulled out of view in favor of things like Facebooks etc.

Ive seen people struggle to even use Fedi. I mean one would think it's as easy as anything to sign up to post on a server but some people really struggle, not just with the onboarding but with the entire experience.
