It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

I actually worry for when Reddit fully implodes, because the ensuing migration wave to Lemmy will bring the same problems and solutions with them.

Yes, i miss some aspects of Reddit, but I'm aware of the hypocrisy that comes with that statement as well

    Probably what'll happen is lemmy.world will become the new reddit and we'll all have to decide if we want to stay federated with them.

    I welcome the schism if it ever occurs. I think it would be really interesting to see how a fully "scaled up" but non-corporate social media handles a challenge like that.

    Even if we have almost exactly all the same problems reddit has, but without being a monolithic corporate platform, I think it would be an improvement.
