MODERATORS
It's like reaching an oasis after decades of crossing a seemingly endless intellectually dry desert of people concerned above all with indulging their lowest most immature and selfish petty emotional needs, riddled with "statues" to peak Dunning-Krugger all invariably labelled "Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!".
Mind you, some of the most ridiculous attempts at creating silly memes here do show that a lot of the "look at me" and "desperate to join a group, any group" types did come along to the Fediverse, though I think they're more of a subculture here than the dominant culture.
Mind you, we all have those characteristics in some level (as can be noticed by the people trying desperatelly to signal their "in-crowd" status by using the word "normie" to describe some vague "out-crowd"), but I like to think that in most of the ones over here now (at least the ones commenting) it's not quite at the level of mindless and desperate as it was in one's more younger and less mature years and with those who are far too concerned with what others will think of them and even securing some narcissitic supply.
