So I’ve tried Mastodon, Pixelfed and didn’t like them. Mastodon is nice if you wanna ”tweet”, but that’s not for me. Pixelfed was dead.

I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.

Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.

Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.

    If you want for something here, it’s a new place, make it. We’re all over here building a new way to do this thing, and everyone’s input is important. What do you want to see, that you haven’t found on Fedi?

      For me it’s mostly the regional subs I had in reddit, those aren’t here. And I also wanted Lemmy to some communities like which are relevant to my studies and work

        smae! there wasn’t a community for my town, so I made one. Also I’m really into photobiomodulation, made a community, but it was on kbin which frittered away, so now I have to remake it. We’re building a whole new thing, new culture, new communities. No better time for it, with all the chaos, let’s make a shiny new garden here, tend it, watch it grow.

          Yeah. But I can’t create communities now because my account is new so I gotta wait

          Y’all are making communities for town tho? Man, i can’t even find an active community of my country 😂

      Actually since I quit Insta etc. I’ve been pretty happy about leaving social media. Tried Bluesky also, but like Mastodon, the Twitter-kind of social media is not for me. Reddit felt helpful and people seemed nice. Right now I don’t feel like I need anything new. I hope Lemmy will be enough for me. I’m also trying to scroll my phone less.
