When I say normie I mean someone who doesn’t care about self-hosting doesn’t really care that much about privacy and you wouldn’t consider deep tech hobbyist.
If you did , how did you do it ? Did they stay ?
Or if someone did convert you , how did they do it ?


It’s sad but I find there’s a legit problem with sexism against women on Lemmy/Piefed. Its too often I see memes posted that are
precariously bordering onboomer/incel humouri see it a lot more often on piefed instances; it’s like the worst of reddit got turned off by the rest of the fediversse but felt that piefed is okay somehow.
it’s so bad that i had to start using the blocking feature for the first time on any of the social media platforms i’ve used since 1996.
it makes me wish that i could shake off my american addiction to bread-and-circuses so that i can be 100% happy with the instances that only have thought provoking content like the one i’m using to write this.
