It’s a very specific subset of neurodivergents, tbh. I don’t see much discussion around typically geeky topics. On Reddit, if I had a fleeting thought or question about a fictional world, I had /r/asksciencefiction. On the fediverse? No such board. The answer to that is “Oh just create it”, but I don’t have the time or the attention span to moderate such a place.
TBH this disappeared on Reddit too. All my preferred fandom subs are now cesspools, with zero depth in fandom knowledge yet weird, cultish worshipping of the material. Bigger general subs feel like bot farms.
Piefed’s /c/television is 1000x better.
But the best places on the internet for that are probably the TVTropes forums, SpaceBattles, and other “surviving” fiction boards.
Create the spaces you want to see, it is very low effort, then put up a post asking for others to help so they can get to it when you are not there. We rarely get problems other than spam here and there, but the small ones are extremely quiet. No one is spamming !orchidaceae@mander.xyz lmao. If you have a team, you can pass it off if you get burnt out and replaced. Do not be afraid! We need a diverse array of mods, do not let us get like Reddit where too many are controlled by a handful of folks. I fully plan on releasing many of mine to a team of more qualified folks when the time comes. :)
