NaN is actually a number in JavaScript

Firefox because it’s one of the last browsers against the Chromium monopoly.

Also UBlock Origin is wayy better on Firefox, even before Google forced their version of Manifest v3 on all Chromium based browsers.

What a scam. Here in Germany it’s more expensive but not by much

Isn’t that known since the early 2000s?

Bad enough that they covered that up for 50 years or so. They knew that the chemicals needed to produce PTFE (Teflon) are toxic but still covered that up and said they’re harmless.

I actually can’t tell if you’re serious or not. But since it’s actually pretty fun to argue here are my points:

Baka is Japanese word for R word

No its not. Are you thinking that because of r/OkBuddyRetard? Baka is a way to say “idiot” and in this context it’s there to make fun of a pretty common character type in anime called the “tsundere”.

MK brings *masterrace crowd with it.

It absolutely doesn’t. It’s one of the most accepting and beginner friendly subs I know (maybe besides the 3D printing subs). Nobody is gatekeeping and when somebody does, they get downvoted into oblivion.

You want those things?

You’re asking me if I want an anime shitposting sub making self councous fun of Anime while loving it that allinges pretty much perfectly with my ideological and political views and one of the kindes and most helpful communities I know? ABSOLUTELY!

You think the average redditor is the same as the more polarised internet anarchist/communist? There is a difference between the mindset of a Cheetos chugging Discord mod teenager in front of their RGB gaming PC, and someone who is a nerd sitting around either managing hoarded data or reencoding media or studying.

I never said something different. Yes a lot of people will also mean a lot of people I don’t want to interact with but that’s just the necessary evil for it not to become a shitty unironical circlejerk like r/GamingCirclejerk where I have the feeling that they unironically hate gamers and games. It’s a sub purely for shitting on other people. Same thing with r/facepalm

A lot of people also means a lot of good content. Some subs collapse and go to shit when they are growing but others will be better.

Not very helpful unless you want Lemmy to become another Reddit.

That’s what I’m saying. I want it to be like reddit but better. I want it to be a reddit with actual free speech.

I will tell you this, a lot of reddit is made up of many elements, like TwoXXChromosomes, FDR (now this femcel sub is purged), once even JB used to exist, now you can go look at all the “russian=orc” Nazism that western users love to circlejerk about.

I know about this. You could just… not browse them. They are on the startpage but that doesn’t mean they’re good or what I want.

That crap will seep in. I am sure all the Sinophobia and Russophobia is abundant in those niche subs you think are worth their value in comedy.

Yeah no, absolutely not. These subs are against this kind of content and are actively making fun of it.

You want all those imperialist bootlickers, celebrity/paparazzi brainrot, softcore porn, OnlyFans promoters, hentai groups, racists, shills of X/Y/Z products, and all of that shit on Mastodon?

No I want r/ComedyNecrophilia r/AnarchyChess r/Feedthememes r/okbuddybaka r/mechanicalkeyboards r/linuxmemes and all the subs from certain games.

You overread the part were I said “hyperspecific nieches”

You cannot have shitposting without making a place crappy

That’s like not true at all. Just have a look into r/ComedyNecrophilia or r/OkBuddyChicanery

They are filled with shitposting but still very civilized. I’m not talking about r/shitposting because that place is trash.

It’s a different kind of humour that most are used to but that doesn’t make it bad. It’s juts different and more absurd.

They are often the worst and/or anti-social elements of society, or people. Who just want to keep distance from turbulent society. You cannot cherry pick how society organises.

How is that bad? I’m left on the political spectrum so I dont think we should exclude them.

With guides I mean places like r/FreeMediaHeckYeah and theindex.moe which are both made by reddit users.

You can go to those “diverse” platforms for that garbage content. Inorganic growth is always cancerous. Instagram users will absolutely make it worse. I do not want people worshipping the next US President or UK Queen/king or whatever toxic idpol exists there to migrate onto Fediverse.

You’re oversimplifying. A lot of new people also means a lot of new people who are against this type of stuff. It means that there are new people who hate the next US President or the next UK Queen/King. What You’re saying are just stereotyps which aren’t even true most of the time.

The whole time you’re using stereotypes that are wrong.

I want hyperspecific niech content that just isn’t on any smaller platform. I rarely use Instagram and mainly use reddit and sometimes use Twitter.

I want that kind of content on other platforms that I get on reddit. Certainly people from reddit aren’t going to migrate to an Instagram made alternative for Twitter but I want more content like more shitposting and guides I could only find on reddit and 4chan (and I fucking hate 4chan)

Not just circlejerk about how good the fediverse is and how bad Twitter and big tech is. Certainly the only people who currently use these alternatives are people who care about federation and people who are sceptical to big tech. That’s also my problem with Hive/Steemit because the only thing they’re talking about is how great the blockchain is.

Whenever I find someone who does something I’m interested in I can be sure that he either has a Twitter and/or Instagram account. If that person has a Mastodon account they probably aren’t as active as on other platforms

Will Instagram users change this? I don’t know. Might they make it worse? I also don’t know. The only thing I know is that you need more users to have a more diverse kind of content. And I know how easy it is to hate on Instagram but there’s also a large amount of relevant content.

Honestly that would be a bad idea. This might actually push Mastodon into mainstream and makes it more accessible for non technical people. That also of cause means more content and I’m all for that. The only reason I haven’t started to actively use Mastodon or Lemmy is because there just isn’t enough content.
