Your snark is the perfect embodiment of why people leave the fedi.
I'm not the one complaining about being bored and requesting that everyone else amuse me. All those things I listed are things that are regularly posted so what's the issue?
The issue is that you're being shitty.
Instead of linking to any of the many communities with the content you brought up, you sarcastically threw shade at the guy for either not already knowing about it or finding it not enough while you do.
It's elitism over one of the most fucking pitiful things you could ever be elitist about: familiarity with an online space.
He was bringing up a personal criticism of this space, not demanding it change to fit his needs.

This wasn't an innocent request for interesting topics to follow, it was taking the stance that only serious topics get discussed here and it's boring:
It wasn't a demand, but certainly requesting that we "let our hair down a bit" and that they "often get bored of the Fediverse."
This post could have been phrased as "What are some good non-political or news related communities?" And I'll gladly accept the label of being elitist if it's because I have minimal expectations that people explore for solutions before complaining and implying it's everyone else that needs to change. You can't browse all without easily bumping into the things I listed, and if you aren't aware there's different filtering options there's always a sidebar link instructing you how the platform works.
Oh Christ you're insufferable.
