there’s 2 kinds of people on fedi: 40 year olds who remember the good ol days of the interwebs 16 year old queer shitposters who got tired of getting called every slur imaginable on other networks both are into linux

I'm a Luddite who discovered this shit inadvertently, and still doesn't actually understand how any of it works

But you're correct in that I'm pushing 50

Come now, at least half of Mastodon/*key users are genderqueer twentysomethings who are mind-bogglingly good with computers.

Dozens of 'em.

Yeah. A bunch of old out of touch uncs with no personality outside of nostalgia for old internet platforms they got banned from, racism and misogyny.

With inflated egos about how much they actually mattered (seriously, built the world wide web).

Such a healthy platform that won't just slowly shrivel up and die.

It's usually only the news subs. But if you make claims that counter Kremlin propaganda you can sometimes summon them. Like if I just say Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine, it won't (why? Beats me). But if I say they are killing ethnic Russian Ukrainian citizens as well as Ukrainian men, women, and children, then we have a good chance. I got others if it doesn't work. Edit: (WITNESS ME! ...

Why can't you comment while on a VPN? I'm on a VPN right now and I'm commenting. Also, I hate to tell you this, but reddit is the way it is because it's so popular. If we had the amount of people necessary to make niche communities thrive, it would be just like reddit. Well, at least as far as the people posting and so on. There wouldn't be any of the weird administrative stuff because it's run...

Looks like your shit just works, while it's not like that in the whole world

Agree. But I do have a extremely long block list of communities that I find that seem to be all about news are negative shit or click bait. Lots of users and a fair about if keywords.

I figured if it's going to make me feel like shit why not just have my feed never show me it again.

The whole point of decentralisation/federation is that it's enshittification proof. If one services goes bad, users can move away and continue to maintain their network effect.

Same here. I didn't understand that people with power tend to find ways to make the voices they like louder, even when we all had a vote in what was popular they found a way.

And then the other thing. People tend to believe what they want to believe and outrage is often just a form of entertainment.

I find the discussions on Lemmy to be better quality than on Reddit, but that can also make them heavier. I can also find Reddit's banality depressing. I'm still using both atm but I'm in the process of phasing reddit out and I'm fine with that, even if I browse Lemmy a bit differently.

Building a well-rounded community can take time.
