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.
