This is what happens when technology is made super easy to use and convenient - every idiot imaginable will use it. Adding even a minor technical barrier to entry will limit the stupid. Like the equivalent of adding a floor-to-ceiling turnstile to the door. You know, the ones made of horizontal bars that look like they want to eat you. A minor requirement of technological comprehension will filter out a lot of idiots. Lemmy kinda works on a similar principle.
