It’s not a big deal

It's absolutely a big deal. Normies getting propagandized by capitalists are how we got fascism, and no amount of "making niches for ourselves" will save us from that.

    Plus the corporate web constantly kills off our niche spaces in the effort to make them palatable for advertisers by sanitizing minorities out of their own spaces.

    I used to be super active in r/traaaa before the 3rd party plugin exodus and subsequent shutdown of the forum. Now? Those people either made a new Reddit or scattered to the 4 winds, and a similar space has struggled to take off here on Lemmy. And that's just one of many instances of this sort of thing happening.
