For me fediverse is largely useless because it lacks any viable size of a gay population. From LGBT+ people it has a huge trans community but not gay. If you’re gay and want to interact with other gay men you need to use a more mainstream platform.

Which is a pity because I only liked Mastodon’s UI and the big platforms lack quality of life implementations.

I seek a big userbase, not fedi-like alternative. I want to freely find nerds to nerd with.

Very nice.
