To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)

How are we defining "neckbeard" here? Actual assholes, bigots, angry hateful people? Or we just using that as a catch all for tech enthusiasts? I see a lot of conflating between the two.

The tech crowd is always there first. They're the early adopters, so yeah, place is gonna have a lot of those. That was true on Reddit in its early days too. That goes hand in hand with a move to a decentralized platform like this. I'm continually puzzled by people that seem to think this is unusual. We came here to escape a centralized, increasingly walled and corporate controlled space...so yeah, lots of tech enthusiasts, FOSS-heads, and Linux users will be here. Where else would they be?
