The whole reason why I’m on lemmy/masto is exactly because it isn’t filled with low-effort karma whoring and that it resembles how Reddit pre-Digg migration and before the sale to Condé Nast.

That community was made up of older nerds with a minimum of technical savvy. Not everyone was a 30 something male programmer…

Other “diverse” folks are free to make their communities and they do, you just need to look at other instances.

Why doesn’t it feel like a “win”? Does the fediverse “need” to be like Reddit? Twitter? Facebook? Instagram? YouTube?

It’ll never be due to the nature of federation and I really like that it encourages quality over quantity, moreover you can curate your own feed.

Block the tech communities and go look around if it bugs you so much.
