I've just accepted that most Redditors want a content feed to read on the toilet, and very few are looking for conversation or community.

If we can convince people looking for the latter to come to the fediverse... now that's the real victory.

I know. I moderate !hardware@lemmy.world which I joined initially when finding out about Fedi. I actually started posting/modding there because the only other tech hardware community was on ML. I otherwise I use Piefed.

I am talking about people in general who don't know the nuances of Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin and the Fediverse in general.

The lead developer being a fake communist (based in America no less 😂) and supporting russian genocidal imperialism is not a good look for an alternative social network (more so people for living in Europe).
