  • Can’t say I agree with the thesis so I cant exactly give a good reason.

    Best I can argue is a lot of people share similar interests here and niche communities aren’t very active here.

    So here I can’t talk about how Jack Hobbs record is better fielding first when everyone chose to bat first in his era or the biomechanics of mhd Asif.

    Or Oviedo’s play being dictated by their wingbacks.

    Or Gukesh beating Magnus.

    Or the development of his self analysis in Dylan’s music.

    I cant talk about a Marxist interpretation of severance. Or Marxist film theory and fight club.

    Or Edgar Allan Poe’s philosophy of composition.

    Or the patterns I notice in mythological stories across cultures.

    Or creating conlangs.

    Simply because there is rarely anyone else who is interested in it who’ll find it. There’s not a lot of engagement with niche topics here








  • I love the vibe most of all. There are some assholes occasionally. Especially whenever theres a wave if reddit migration. But mostly people are nice.

    I love how I can identify so many peoples names to the point that i basically know them, just as I’m sure some can recognise mine.

    I like that it’s not drowning in terrible opinions.

    Theres a general left wing bias that i like.

    Everyone is in on everything. Lemmy is small enough that nothing goes unnoticed. Genuinely feels like a village.

    Just the very nature of forum based social media like reddit I always liked.

    Theres a sense of loyalty and appreciation to the developers, admins, mods etc. This is the peoples place and those who facilitate it with their money and efforts are appreciated. I myself feel a sense of loyalty to dbzer0, but even sopuli.xyz and literature.cafe

    I dont like how a couple of bots or assholes can massively influence the culture. A few early downvotes can kill a post for example.
