So let's say my content is made for anybody **willing** to understand.
Unfortunately, that's not everybody, not sure if it's my problem if they're not willing to understand.
Also, you're replying to adi@twtxt.net, bug or autocomplete?
@adi It's not your problem at all. The analogy is like this; If I want to drive a car, I don't need to understand how the car works. I just drive it. The same is true for users of social media platforms like Yarn.social - They don't need to understand or know that it's _actually_ based on simple text files, they just want to use it.

@prologic It doesn't hurt to understand how it works. In fact, that's what school is for.
@adi This is true in theory, but in practice the world doesn’t work like this. 😥
Maybe it should but that might be a bit too idealistic 🤔

@adi You live in it you tell me 😁

@prologic There are some people that understand how stuff works and some that don't and just use the stuff.
And because stuff is so simple when it comes to yarn, it's not a bad idea to explain somewhere or even feature how it works to everybody. Not a good idea to hide implementation details. It could be an attraction point.
@adi no one ever said anything about hiring implementation details.

@prologic \n\n> They don’t need to understand or know that it’s actually based on simple text files, they just want to use it.\n\nThey don't need to, I agree, but it's not a bad idea to have the explanations in front of them.
