Most people from my circle use mainstream apps and see me as that “alternative” weirdo/geek.

Most alternative options are being used by geeks and males quite often. Its hard to find normies here.

Do you think there will be a shift in perception?

    Counter-question, how do I deal with this AND being a woman from a caring/interpersonal profession instead of a primarily IT/CS one? (My childhood was very CS/STEM heavy, but I broke away from the rest of the family in this regard).

    I’m kidding I already know: I’m trying to build up and contribute to the communities I want to see here, namely private spaces for people to vent about their Healthcare jobs and mental health concerns, and a place for people to look at memes, especially anticapitalist and otherwise non-conforming ones.
