    As with a lot of things, I think time will solve this.

    Current C level staff in their 50s+ run the show. They have a way of working that they like and its their way or the highway. There is a high ranking boss at my work that has his department delay a lot of his emails until 4:45 every day to emulate the old days of mail going out at that time.

    The next layer of staff are mostly in their 30s and 40s and are trying to implement modern practices, but its a tough slog. When this group reaches the top jobs change will happen, but its a slow process.

    As the current C levels drop off and are replaced by younger folk who have experienced WFH they will be lauded has heroes for saving money on office space.

    Subreddits almost solved that issue. I think the added layer of abstraction that the fediverse offers will go some ways to solve it further. I think we will see instances catered to certain demographics, and if those demographics don't vibe then they will isolate from each other.

    Private trackers are a good example as well. When people get in the difficulty of getting their account in the first place makes them hesitant to speak up and certainly not want to dance the line of "sillyness" for fear of losing access.

    The benefit of a barrier for entry is obvious. Less shitposting and a higher quality of user.
    The downside of a barrier for entry is also obvious. Less shitposting and a a higher threshold for jokes and mucking around.

    Personally I think everyone is looking for the golden goose that doesn't exist. A direct reddit clone doesn't exist. If it did, it would be heading the same way as reddit.

    After lurking Tildes for a while I think they know what they want and have found a good way to get it. As time goes on I think the attitude here will relax somewhat, but in the mean time don't let perfect be the enemy of good. There are other places on the net for sillyness, its good to have somewhere to converse with a different tone.

    It's a long weekend in Australia and I am just so, so grateful for an extra day off
