do the different norms/culture persist after somebody has started interacting with lots of people on other servers?
I guess every platform so far develops a bit of a culture based on lots of things, but in wanting to be universal, I worry about cultures here keeping anyone away. but maybe the goal should be to have every culture (obviously technically impossible) and help people find theirs. but also not put up walls. IDK.
Regarding:
"do the different norms/culture persist after somebody has started interacting with lots of people on other servers?"
To me it looks like different cultures have persisted on the Fediverse.
(Although some have felt unwelcomed and left. Ex: Black-Twitter, Bitcoin-Fedi, etc.)
I have a ton of articles about math and electronics on my blog and I realize it's hard to navigate, so I recently revamped two top-level catalog pages:
https://lcamtuf.substack.com/p/algorithms-and-math-trivia
https://lcamtuf.substack.com/p/electronics-curriculum
Let me know what you think?
Oh no!
I've read the https://stevelosh.com/blog/2021/03/small-common-lisp-cli-programs/ and see the new horizons of tinkering 
I can give you a more concrete example — quote-boosts.
One of the first culture clashes I recall regarding it was when Black-Twitter tried to move the the Fediverse.
A lot of people who were part of Black-Twitter were used to quote-boosts. They had a culture war with a very, very, very small fraction of (less-than 0.002%) of the Fediverse.
(Most of Black-Twitter seemed to leave the Fediverse and form BlackSky.)
Also ...
Misskey (and its forks) and Akkoma/Pleroma (and its forks) have had quote-boosts for years. (Much before Mastodon.)
Much later, Mastodon adds quote-boosts. But makes them work differently. Makes them permissioned.
(Misskey, Akkoma/Pleroma, and forks quote-boosts are NOT permissioned.)
That causes a different mass-culture.

I understand your point. But it doesn't say anything about what that different culture is supposed to be like and how you define it.I can give you a more concrete example — quote-boosts.

gibt es eigentlich sowas wie kleinanzeigen mit activitypub?
it's kind of funny how many people, myself included, just never use the game's official terminology and instead refer to the icons it uses.
there's a skill in state of decay 2 called "craftsmanship". the icon is of a hammer. i refer to it as "the hammer". unfortunately none of my current survivors have the hammer so i need to find a hammer book

I've 8 years of experience as an MIT software engineer specializing in research simulation platform projects. I would prefer: not creating the next big AI thing, not making weapons, never having to think about blockchain anything.
Anyone got anything?

Hearing that Microsoft clank-morged git merges, what kind of maxxing is involved here?
OK, so let's say me and some friends started a tech company/consultancy that refused to use "AI", would this encourage you choose us over others?
(boosts welcome)
@requiemrequiem 🦫 I think that "No AI here!" companies are actually a hot, hot thing now. Especially for medical devices or airplanes / flight control. If someone is doing that and is supportive of remote work for software, let me know: I would like to work at such a place. (Preferably if we're making highly reliable insulin-related products.) #getfedihired
Seriously, I don't think most Americans have put together that natalism, "naturalism," anti-science, anti-medicine, anti-vax, pedophilia, misogyny, queerphobia, eugenics, racism, anti-immigrant xenophobia, anti-woke, anti-DEI, and disempowering labor through automation and "AI" are all interlocking parts of modern fascist ideology.
the AI industry is going to have us maintaining the current gaming PCs like Cuban cars
