I’m really enjoying the switch to Lemmy. This feels more like the late 90s/early 00s when computers still required some work to use. I know it might seem gatekeeper-y but it’s just nice to know the people here really care about how we interact and what we give up by using the intrusive commerical platforms. Thoughts?

    I’m fully with you. It feels great to be on a platform where:

    • the site owner isn’t some billionaire CEO. they’re a regular person
    • no algorithms or weird manipulations. It’s just up and down votes here.
    • people are genuine. No one trying to “game the algorithm” or “amass karma”.
