Federation is complicated enough that under 30s and over 50s haven't caught on much yet.
Be the change...
I'm sorry, but it's really not complicated. It's not even anything new. Our society is just bad with technology.
Would you dare say that to their facsimiles?
Saying that to them wouldn't help them, so there is no point. I'm just pointing out a fact. Federation is not the only technology that people have trouble to understand. AI and cryptocurrencies are some other examples. We need to educate people to change this.

I'll be 60 on the next birthday, so I'm working to be that change.
I'm 66.
That's awesome! I am curious, do you have a background in tech at all? The fediverse shouldn't be that hard of a concept for people to grasp but in my experience with people my age (42) and younger few seem to get it.
I think you'll find there's lots of us over 50 types on here 🙂
Fantastic!
