@vv0ltzIt does feel lonely on fedi as trans guy
Not just as trans guy, but also the one who isn't that much interested in tech (I can learn something for my amateur website, but that's it).
It's also kinda interesting that I used to have even some aversion to learning tech due to family trauma (don't force your own goals on your kids) and misogyny in IT spaces, which makes makes it a bit harder to have joy in learning it (and also it's fucking hard, I need explanations like I'm 5 or I won't understand). Though among my all-transmasc family members I'm still the one most interested in IT, LOL.
And basically that's why I find bluesky more appealing to me lately, simply because I see variety of interests and more transmascs. If I see memes and shitposts in trans communities on fedi, they're oriented mostly to transfems into tech (which I don't mind at all, I'm just not the target audience). Despite all of that, I will continue to actively use fedi at least to be the one who makes some variety here :D
but communities on fedi tend to be highly insular to their own detriment. i'm the target demographic of most fedi stuff in theory, but i am also super uncomfortable with exactly how homogenous queer fedi is. i don't particularly love tech stuff though i'm good at it, and i'm transfem -- but even then, i don't enjoy most of the content that targets those two groupsi'm really glad you're staying though
i really enjoy having you on my feed, and seeing your art, and everything you have to say @vv0ltz@pawb.fun@rowan AAAA THANK YOU 
I'm glad you relate! Fedi certainly made me better at understanding tech because I'm curious and want to understand everything (which has a disadvantage of me knowing like. a lot of a fedi conflicts I shouldn't have known), but still not that much of a fan, I'd like to see more artists here haha
totally agree about artists though ;u; i've wanted to post my art here but it feels super intimidating because it feels like swimming against the tide. i really love seeing you post your art, it's always such a treat
