It seems anytime I try to check out Mastodon it is always some negative political view or affiliation of why X, Y & Z is bad. Is this just what most people like boosting or is it a sign of botting to push negativity over the more positive headlines?

I do understand I can switch to any Mastodon instance I want and stick to a small community, however I like keeping up with trending topics in the world. Maybe the most popular accounts in the Mastodon community likes to rise up pitchforks every minute.

Check our Nostr, yeah it has a politicial bias but its not prone to censorship unlike mastodon and twitter.

Eh. Was checking out Nostr a few days ago because it sounded interesting, but it's just full of cryptobros.

It is full of bitcoin maxies. It needs more people that are not crypto people on there.

The problem is that cryptobros are the kinds of people that drive away non-cryptobros. If you go to a site as a normal person and see nothing but cryptobros, you're not going to have an incentive to stick around, now, are you?

Someone got to break the ice. Lemmy used to be very tech savvy, still us but now there are other topics to discuss. You gotta get on there and post into the void, get the ball rolling.

Lemmy used to be very tech savvy, but not repulsive. Cryptobros are repulsive (and not just because of the cryptocurrency shilling!). What's my incentive to stick around?
