Tildes is elitist. They don't want the unwashed masses on their manicured lawn.
I think that's an strong statement and overreaction on your part, but to that point mass adoption isn't always a good thing.
I find that the content on Tildes are generally more respectful, thoughtful and higher quality. Much better signal to noise ratio. Lemmy does have quality stuff but there is also a lot more low quality / low effort content to wade through. Just look at the state of Showerthoughts / AskLemmy if you are looking for examples.
You just described elitism.
It's a bit too positive to encompass all that is elitism.
