    Doesn’t that just mean it will attract a certain type of user, where FOSS and tech are huge parts of identity? I’m not mocking that type of user at all, but honestly my primary use case for Reddit was shitposting in /r/cricket threads. There’s never going to be that sort of community, because frankly anyone not into tech would find this platform completely incomprehensible.

      There are so many shitposting communities here, I find your take a little confusing. What am I missing? Do you mean because it’s cricket?

        Yes because it’s cricket, E.g. during a live thread. It’s just an example. Outside of tech and American interests, there is actually very little of interest here for passive or casual users.
