I know it's arguably part of why it's intimidating to your average newcomer but I adore that it's mostly nerdy techies lol. I'm so used to dropping something vaguely technical and being met with the online equivalent of blank stares so people being willing and able to engage with that sort of thing is super nice!
Early Reddit -- I was on when it was one page and a large amount of the content was directly posted by spez and company, was mostly talking about stuff that they cared about, like Lisp and Linux and startups -- was somewhat similar. More of a university focus and didn't have the economically-far-left, furry, or LGBT crowds prominent, so not the same, but some decided similarities.
Good point, I didn't get into reddit that early but it definitely rings familiar
