The linked post shows how most non-tech people's understanding of email is very very different from most of the people here.

There's something wrong with hurting other people's ability to access the fediverse with insufferable nerd explanations that have nothing to do with posting.

"hurting"? someone yapping about the fediverse is a minor inconvenience at worst. A TON of people that are on Lemmy don't know how it works, or even care about how it works, and that's perfectly OK. Nothing wrong with going on [email protected] and upvoting the cute cat pictures.
