I’ve never felt like a bigger idiot than when I try to explain the fediverse to normal people.
I don't think this is as much as specialized knowledge issue as it is that normal people are frightingly technologically illiterate considering how much is computers. I mean this is not a hard concept to grasp at laymans architectural level
Technology literacy is specialized knowledge. You're portraying the comic.
99% of people have no need or desire to know anything more about technology than the bare minimum to use it. The fact that you're on Lemmy alone means you have way more tech knowledge than the average person.
Would you consider basic economics specialized knowledge?
