Unsurprisingly, the tech communities are the ones thriving the most here already.
i feel that this is in no small part due to techy folks feeling more inclined to figure out these federated alternatives. it's still not very intuitive for the average person imo
Definitely, but I strongly suspect this will be the place to go for tech stuff from now on.
I haven't been active in the IT world on years, but as a veteran of Usenet from back in the 90's, I've been enjoying how much this distributed setup feels like that; And in no small part because it's not as easily accessible to the non-techies.
I also feel like the comparison to a "sugar rush" is a good one. Reddit was becoming too much, it was so overrun with bots and trolls. This place feels more sane and less run down.
When my day job was tech, I learned quickly you either learn as much as quickly as you can or you stagnate and don't get anywhere. Guess thats spilled over to my personal life too.
Iโm a fan of lifelong learning in every aspect of life, I hear you.
