Ordinary people know what Linux is, they just don’t care about. So the effect is the pretty much the same, but for different reasons.
the problem with this place is it’s not user-friendly. and the posts/comments are too nerdy/niche for most people. my lemmy frontpage is like 50% linux nonsense.

if it’s less niche it will be flooded with ragebait and such. better it stays a bit more niche. that’s why i’m fine with it being a little bit more nerdy than other mainstream platforms.

My problem is less the nerdy and niche stuff. Because there’s a lot of communities and you can subscribe to what you like.
My problem is more how there’s a lot of debate lords, arseholes, and I’m the smartest in the world types.
But I guess that’s the case on all social media. Really shits on what’s otherwise a nice experience here tho.
