I disagree. At first I was frustrated that people were having so much difficulty with such a simple process, but after a while I adopted the mindset that if they’re too stupid to figure out something so mundane then I don’t want them here anyway. 🤷‍♂️

Eh. This is kind of a weak attitude.

Yeah. I don’t want just tech savvy people here. I want people with non-tech hobbies like gardening and home improvement to join too.

Without diversity we are just a bunch of assholes yelling at each other about things we all already know.

This is the important part. I’m part of the big homebrewing (beer) community on Reddit, as well as some local subs for my home area. I don’t think a ton of those users can figure it out as easily as someone like myself.

It doesn’t really require tech savvy, just a few minutes of reading. Anyone smart enough to have something interesting to add to a conversation can figure it out easily enough.
