    Even the non-commercial spaces are commercial. I’ve seen a bunch of thing disguised ads on here already. The fediverse is no different than the rest of the net. The big corps are still monitoring everything.

    Every “nerd” I meet now wants out asap. The only ones who don’t seem to be pushing blockchain or AI. The tech sphere I loved is well and truly gone. The people are so profit driven nothing else can matter.

      Well, do try Gemini, if you want to see the anti-thesis of commercial viability. You’ll need a dedicated Gemini browser. You can try to search from gemini://geminispace.info/search , but some Gemini capsules, you’ll just have to discover.

      I do actually also feel like the Fediverse is a bit too popular now, after Ex-Twitter and Reddit committed seppuku. But I’m still hoping, if it bothers me too much, I can simply move to a more isolated instance where there’s only nerds again.
