Most people from my circle use mainstream apps and see me as that "alternative" weirdo/geek.

Most alternative options are being used by geeks and males quite often. Its hard to find normies here.

Do you think there will be a shift in perception?

I think we can say from looking at the mainstream internet that we don't want a shift in perception. Seems to me that the moment that the mainstream finds something, they're going to intentionally or unintentionally break it. I would choose a few million weirdos who understand why we're all here and to a few billion normies who want to come in and break my toys any day of the week.
