Im an idiotic old man who can barely repair my PC anymore and it was very easy to make an account here and on mastodon. Dunno what people are on about.
It's not creating the account that is the problem. It's learning what you should know about the instance you choose, then choosing an instance, and understanding how the federation of posts work. Etc.
The downvotes on this are just strange. What impetus could there be for continuing to push the narrative that mastodon or lemmy are 'difficult' to sign up for and use? My wife(46) and mother(67), who are both technically impaired, signed up on the same day I did...
The process is so simple: All we did was google 'mastodon canada' and 'lemmy canada,' Then signed up for mstdn.ca and lemmy.ca.
Next steps? Nothing different than any other social site... Fill out the profile (like any other site) start looking for people and tags to follow (like any other site) and then bookmark the main page (like any other site).
