The whole reason why I’m on lemmy/masto is exactly because it isn’t filled with low-effort karma whoring and that it resembles how Reddit pre-Digg migration and before the sale to Condé Nast.

Other “diverse” folks are free to make their communities and they do, you just need to look at other instances.
Why doesn’t it feel like a “win”? Does the fediverse “need” to be like Reddit? Twitter? Facebook? Instagram? YouTube?
It’ll never be due to the nature of federation and I really like that it encourages quality over quantity, moreover you can curate your own feed.
Block the tech communities and go look around if it bugs you so much.
