Not sure why you're getting down voted... These things are true. Maybe amended to "way too complex for _most_ people to easily understand" would be less controversial.
The vast majority of people's relationship with technology ends with an email address and a credit card. Here on Lemmy there tends to be a more sophisticated understanding of social media and the underlying social and technical aspects. But the idea that you have to do anything more than decide to join something and at most you need an email and a credit card would be a significant barrier to entry for most.

Most people downvoting probably haven't ever questioned how Lemmy works. For example: posts are duplicated across instances. But usernames and accounts are not.

Or they see _.ml_ and downvote or all those that hate the user because Geneva isn't liberal
