What about Mastodon?
(I'm, like, 80% joking)
- krapp 1y agoAs far as I can tell, Mastodon is nothing but nerds, which is what I like about it.

- scubbo 1y agoA barrier-to-entry isn't necessary if no non-geeks want to join in the first place (which is, IME, true of Mastodon). Mastodon has successfully made itself a place that no non-geek would ever _want_ to spend time on anyway, so no barriers-to-entry are necessary to maintain that state. (You can decide for yourself whether this comment is praising or criticizing Mastodon)
