Because wanting braindead content that you don’t have to think about or form a critical opinion over is a valid request. There’s a big reason the Fediverse doesn’t see widespread adoption: the content sucks, it’s all politics from the farther edges of every end of the spectrum and FOSSbro tech discussion that’s about as insufferable as cryptobro subreddits.

If the Fediverse wants to attract more people, then it needs to start expanding into what those other people actually want. They don’t want to have a furry with a Stalin profile pic explain Linux kernel to them, they want to laugh at inconsequential videos of children falling into things that they can leave a “heart” on and quickly share a link to their friend with.

I’m okay with more people, but not those people. We are here in the Fediverse for some degree of quality, of which furries explaining the Linux kernel is one example of kind.

I think you’re underestimating who “we” includes when talking about the Fediverse. Normies want a place here, too.

Yeah, the fediverse would be much better place without narcissistic gatekeeps like you here to bring the mood down all the time.
