If you are yourself a tech illiterate, which method worked for you?
If the tech illiterate is someone you know, which method was successful to convince them?
Mastodon is a social media app, a bit like Twitter, but instead of one company owning the whole thing, it is made of lots of smaller communities that can talk to each other. You join one community, but you can still follow and talk to people on other communities, a bit like how someone with a Gmail address can email someone with an Outlook address.
