I wish I could find that one photo of about 30 photographers crowded around the one guy with a bloody nose at a 100,000 person protest, but google is failing me
Pretty sure it was him, but a photo from further back so you could see way more photographers. Literally every photo from the protests that day had this guy in.
It's something I've seen POC on Mastodon complaining about, that everyone in the fediverse thinks they belong in every discussion. It's been the same with the autism community on Lemmy, I'll say something about my experience of autism and immediately get a reply like "I'm not autistic but I disagree".
At least Reddit is big enough that not every post hits the front page and gets a comment from every user, so niche subs can fly under the radar a bit.
Yeah, I hate Reddit as a company for the same reasons as everyone else, but I keep going back there because the quality and diversity of discussion on Lemmy isn't good enough.
It's like early Reddit in that people stay on topic and make relatively high effort comments, but it's dominated by straight white male libertarian software engineers, so you get really narrow viewpoints that overwhelm anything else.
