MODERATORS
I think anyone that fits in those 3 categories just tend to be the early adopters. The normies come later. 😁
True, that was also the makeup of early reddit.
I think this is what so many forget. Mid-2000s reddit was a completely different site than what it is now. Not only because it was much, much smaller back then, but also because the demographic was almost entirely made up of techies/nerds.
It'll take a long time for Lemmy to compare to present day Reddit in terms of userbase diversity and traffic volume, if it ever does. I personally don't think it ever will, as most users are content with centralized social media, despite their glaring pitfalls. But, I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
Regardless, I'm happy to find a new community that meets most of what I used Reddit for, even if it's a bit of a monoculture for the time being.
I read it as "everyone fits in (one of) those 3 categories" and I thought yeah almost!
