I really hope /dev/null stays pure to these roots of authentic geek chatter and doesn't become another X, LinkedIn, Facebook

Totally agree, but it also seems unfeasible

how do you see the story developing?

Honestly it depends on the business model. If it's ad-funded, it'll drift toward engagement bait like the others. If it stays chronological, no algo, and maybe funded by donations or a paid tier, it has a real chance. The git concept alone already filters out a lot of non-devs
