Im also older GenZ and I only found Lemmy and the Fediverse today
I think of myself as above average in Tech and Internet Knowledge but there is so much to know and so many things to not get.
Tech is ridiculously "complicated" in that it has little parallels to other aspects of life. Also the sheer size of knowledge you need to have to get deep into it can be very disappealing
[Example] want to set up your own vpn looking for a guide and you only see guides you have never Heard before you look up these words to understand it only to find many explinations with other words you have never seen before
Im doing my best to understand many things but I dont have the time or the motivation to Learn everything
And I think many people are like me Maybe they dont even want to learn the things because their interest are in a completely different field
Dunno maybe im just dumb idk
