    Not wrong, but there needs to be a defining line where one is knowledgeable and an authority on the subject, and one who is not. Gatekeeping can be a really trashy attitude, which is a reason I focus so much on smartphone guide because it covers the one massive problem in the life of almost every tech user. Also, threat modelling is something I strive to make easy, and I openly welcome people who want to take advice from me. I help people and I like to help people.

      Yes, and that’s the way to do it! But you would lose all credibility in your guide if you started it by referring to the reader as a normie, I reckon.

        I never refer to them as normies. I have a better name that does not offend anyone – privacy seekers. Sometimes I may phrase them as ordinary people that are less tech savvy.
