    More mildly put, people are diverse, which is a great resource.

    I want to follow communities about a wide variety of topics. Some appeal to intellectual, tech-savvy people, others don’t.

    If the platform is deterring to the later group, my experience suffers because I lack content in these areas.

    People can use their brains in many more ways than understanding technology. Just because a person is not good in navigating technology does not mean they have no brain.

    For example, I’d love to see more going on in communities about performative arts, philosophy, activism, regional cultural events. Occasionally, I like to peek into bubbles which are completely different from my own.

    With power comes responsibility. I see it as the responsibility of people who understand technology to make it accessible to those who don’t.

        Then you might want to get off the Internet because, as long as there’s idiots, smarter people will call them out for their idiocy.

          Did you know there’s a surgery where you can stretch out your vertebrae so you can suck your own bits?

            You seem like you’ve got the flexibility to manage without surgery.

      I would even go further and say that I also want to interact with people who just want to be silly or want to share their bizarre views about things. Variety is the spice of life. As long as these communities can remain separate (like how the fediverse has communities), then the more the merrier.
