I didnt take it as an insult, I just disagree with its use here. What I mean is that it's not learned incompetence, I'm speaking specifically for me. I'm fully capable of learning how this stuff works and I know I could, I just dont want to. I just dont care about tech stuff, it bores me. The same way some people don't care about the rules of football, or the way contract law works, or the difference between needle lace and bobbin lace, that's how I feel about tech. I could learn it, I'd just rather not. There are a lot of people like me who don't want to learn this stuff because they don't enjoy it and like it or not that apathy (rather than inability, real or imagined) is a strong barrier to entry for something like lemmy/the "fediverse"
