When I say normie I mean someone who doesn’t care about self-hosting doesn’t really care that much about privacy and you wouldn’t consider deep tech hobbyist.

If you did , how did you do it ? Did they stay ?

Or if someone did convert you , how did they do it ?

    No, my wife is normieish, followed me over to Lemmy for a bit but you lot scared her off.

    Now she just uses instagram and threads

      It’s sad but I find there’s a legit problem with sexism against women on Lemmy/Piefed. Its too often I see memes posted that are precariously bordering on boomer/incel humour

      Do you reckon she’d have a better time with Pixelfed and Mastodon over Lemmy? Those are more similar to Instagram and Threads, I believe.

          Ahh. Still might be worth considering though, since pixelfed and mastodon have a different crowd she might jive with better.

        I also use Mastodon a lot. I tried Pixelfed but 90 percent of I see are still Mastodon accounts so I just follow them on Mastodon.

        The right client there makes all the difference.
