🤷♂️ there’s got to be some place for the average person to go without being screamed at by some nerd calling them a boot licker.

And that’s a structural problem. The ActivityPub was supposed to allow both the “average person” and the “nerd” to coexist in the same platform, without one getting too much in the way of the other; it doesn’t.
I’m not sure on a good solution for that.

They don’t coexist peacefully in life, why would they do it here?

My nerd and techy friends, even the more progressive ones, do just fine in most places.
Lemmy has the extremist and most angry.

They tolerate each other enough to get each into a corner and not interact much.
And yet that is not what we see in the Fediverse. Those “corners” don’t exist here.

Are you sure? In my experience, they defederate from each other.
