    Yeah there’s no way in Hell I’m telling average people to jump on the fediverse train. This place is niche af - just like Reddit was in the early days.

        I didn’t say it was a problem to get signed up. I’m saying I’m not inviting some dudes from pickup ball to check out a string of Linux and furry memes.

            Until a few days ago, that was like more than 50% of All > Hot. Logging into an instance where I do not have any blocked communities yet, it looks like that’s died down. The main list now looks like a normal website.

                Same on the campaign to block those. I originally allowed NSFW generally thinking I might miss some cool but off color posts, but the bar for NSFW is definitely high here. And copying Reddit content without the comments and interactions - especially Redditors’ personal stories like AITA or relationship advice - seems worthless and demeaning.

                At this point, I’m very happy with it. It reminds me of my first days on Reddit 16 years ago, when it was all links to PDFs and tech talk that was so smart it was over my head.
