You’re an idiot. Also a techy linux weirdo, so I’m not surprised. Did you know other people have hobbies that do not involve Linux, and would like to be able to discuss them without someone like you bending themselves into a pretzel over how the Fediverse has no room for filthy casuals who don’t know what FOSS stands for. Gatekeep harder! This will surely save the fediverse from normies.

40-something sysadmins love both bicycles and video games, so I’m really not surprised. All of those “read-only” bits aren’t here and they aren’t moving, and nobody’s making them because the moderation tools are awful. Kbin doesn’t even have an API.

When I want to watch a play or musical, I generally look for expert reviews.

I generally look for the opinions of like, actual human beings with no skin in the game. Reviewers gotta say what they need to say to pay their bills. Reddit was great for stuff like that, or the semi-official subreddits of specific obscure headphone companies, vinyl record swapping, local-town-community type subreddits… Stuff this place seems like it will literally never have. It’s a shame.

No shit you think it’s fine, you’re a techy linux weirdo. Good luck discussing like, musicals or tabletop roleplaying games or homemade moonshine or anything in that general vicinity of “niche” on here.

It’s small enough to literally have zero posts of a variety of topics, and that number isn’t improving. Get outside of your own circle every once in a while.

I went and looked at tildes as a result of this, and it seems aggressively dead. Like, the fediverse is pretty dead and tildes makes it look positively thriving in comparison. Yeesh.
