I’m a huge nerd, so the reason I joined Lemmy is because I was looking for a social media platform that conforms with my views on FOSS, moderation, and internet privacy. I would assume many other people are in the same boat, but is that accurate? Who’s just here because they looked up “Reddit alternatives?”
90% of people who joined Lemmy (or the fediverse in general) are tech savvy enough to wrap their head around the concept of federation.
