      Reminds me of the pictures of the /baltimore meetup that did nothing to refute stereotypes of redditors

        That picture is forever burned into my mind when I think of Reddit.

        I’d love to see one for Lemmy. I suspect it’d be largely the same except about 25% of us pasty nerds would be trans women, and there would be a lot of Linux merch on display.

          You know what? I’d go if I was local just to see.

              I used to be subbed to several local subreddits, including a [mylocation]-social.

              The difference in tone between people I knew from the `social meetups vs. the people in the generic city/state subreddits was truly amazing.

      I actually recognize some of those pixels! That was back before the meetups got taken over by corporate…
