I'm probably older than you if you're remotely close to reddit's average. You're resorting to condescension because it's an easy fallback. I won't age myself but middle-aged is very much a descriptor I have to reckon with.
Floating hearts that cascade down the page? Why? Whats the message that has anything to do with pledging to defederate against facebook? The branding seems all over the place.
The point is that it is for the fediverse, and when you have actually spent some time on it outside of the couple weeks you've spent on lemmy, you'll realise that it's completely filled with weird subculture stuff like it. If you were familiar with fediverse more your response would be "yeah that makes sense". The early adopters and communities on it before the reddit drama are pretty much the same people that put chiptunes in the last keygen you used.
Fellow middle aged person as well.
Fair enough. The lemmy-verse is weird and magical, the subculture is unique. Nothing like it's ever existed before.
Good luck on pushing that narrative on all the normies who are going to show in up in droves once reddit finally implodes. I don't think everyone will get on board, but i've been wrong before.. but again, judging from the fact that the largest lemmy instance isn't on that pledge list, doesn't bode well for your vision.
