Everyone I've talked to about joining Mastodon/Lemmy/The Fediverse
(poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
yeah but if you join, and your friends join, and they're friends, you know what nevermind
[Edit] holy shit people I get it, people like it small, take it easy it's just a meme, don't need to keep commenting and DMing
You make good points. People could afford to be more accepting and patient.
But it's also inevitable that the people on a more niche platform will judge the people on a mainstream platform. That's just human nature, and it doesn't turn people away as much as you imply. For everyone who's turned off by the condescension, there's another person who's curious whether it's justified.
I mean, the numbers clearly indicate that 99.99% of reddit users have never made an account on Lemmy. I don't think people are being pushed away, I think they are simply lazy and short sighted, and also waiting for the dust to settle.
Reddit was the most elitist site on the planet for much of its existence, and it never posed a problem for growth.
Reddit elitism is nothing in comparison to what i see on lemmy instances lol.
You seem to be an expert when it comes to elitism, so I'll defer to your judgment.
I am curious which social media platform you prefer?
Depending on the definition: twitch/youtube. If you somehow dont count both then none, just using whats handy at the moment.
Do you interact with peers on YouTube comments? I've never talked with anyone in the comment section other than the content creator.
Very rarely, on youtube im mostly interested in the content. Usually if i want some interaction i go on twitch.
Fair enough, thank you for answering my question.
I am also hoping that the content on Lemmy will improve going forward, but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it now.
