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?
It definitely feels like it, like when centralized platforms ruled by huge multinational corporations didn’t rule the Internet. People have become fed up and started to run their own infrastructure. The experience here feels different, no rule by algorithms and man-baby billionaires. It’s like the Internet is once again a wasteland and we are the settlers.
