I hope not. I remember a time in which you needed to know something in order to enjoy the Internet and I kinda hope this place remains less approachable by normies, but attractive to those who love technology. I feel this is like how IRC was in the 90s.
I think that Lemmy becoming more accessible to normies is a good thing. There’s no reason to gatekeep it, as it’s not the normies that mess up the site, it’s the greedy pricks that follow them and try to make a buck.
