This super geeky and technical question does not belong in a generalist community.
PS: sure, I’ll get downvoted, but consider the possibility of selection bias. If you’re reading this thread, you clicked out of interest. How many others scrolled past “X86/X64 arm blablabla” while subconsciously noting “Lemmy = tech talk”?
By that standard every community from gardening to history will be overrun with techie talk. Makes no sense.
If a generalist community is a bit less busy but on-topic, I call that a win. Communities should be built on shared interests and normies will never be interested in this subject.

Lemmy is still small, so I think its generally considered acceptable to ask these questions.
Edit: Besides, most of us lemmings are nerds, so it fits this community well.

What do you see as “general” topics? And why wouldn’t tech talks be a part of it?
Read the topic title again and try to imagine what it might sound like to the average person in the street.
