Or... let them stay on Reddit. I like lemmy much better, and it's possibly due to the people that are not present and the lack of commercial interest.

No harm in that. To each their own. :-) Everyone gets to decide at least.

I think if the fediverse was ever to become more mainstream, it would naturally splinter. For example, the corporate stuff would be big, and those people who value the small-instance experience we have now would probably de-federate from it. There would always be small fediverses, even if the big fediverses got REALLY big.

Does anyone have any good tech- related forums on Lemmy? I’m still digging around as i find a lot of interesting but “Quiet” ones.

Gate them in their own space.

Just make your own invite-only server if you're so worried about it. Digital freedom should be for everyone, not just a few antisocial nerds.

I'm not worried about anything.

Well, clearly you are, or you wouldn't suggest that most people should stay on (what I think we both agree to be) an inferiror platform that affords them fewer freedoms.

If you're worried that somehow that would bring unwanted attention or a bad crowd, you can always sequester yourself in a more niche server. That's the whole point of this federated system to begin with - giving us more control of our digital presence.
