> You can maybe make an argument for fedi being a place for people with a CS background OR

Or if you hate Elon because he is inventing fascism, or if you are George Takei, or for a long time, if you were a prostitute ( http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/switter.at ), or 2huposting, or if you want to run a psyop ( http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/nafo.uk ) or whoever. I would *love* it if everything on here was about computers. Most of it isn't, most of the people here aren't programmers. I didn't come here because I'm a programmer, I came here because it was fun.

> What you're making is half a point if it's true and it's probably not even true.

You remain unconvinced, sure. I don't know what to do about that and am not sure I should do anything about it: the world in which you agree with me on this point looks basically exactly like the world we currently inhabit.

> It would be fine with you that this side of fedi is only for people with a very short list of interests (it is)? Seriously?

:cryingl: Would you seriously be okay with a large number of people that are interested in the same things you like? How could you?

:craysmile:

> And yes, that is an actual problem, one that won't go away by your mere dismissal of it.

Well, like I said, I get that the place is in some ways not fit for purpose from your perspective or your friends' perspective. I don't know what you want me to do about that. That's not a dismissal, but like I said, I don't have the same problems you have. I'd rather improve the place than worry too much about changing the place with the hope that it will make people that hate the place suddenly love it. (It won't.) If the improvements make more people arrive, great. If not, the goal was to improve the place, and that's sufficient for me.

> For you to have a point here we'd need to see some actual improvements made for the people here.

Then stop arguing with me about it so I can continue to write the software.
