I’m loving Lemmy. And I’m loving this instance. Great conversation, no bots, no ads. It seems like there are so many intentional, thoughtful comments here (and Lemmy as a whole) than Reddit.
The way I used reddit was to unsub from all of the defaults and only subscribe to smaller communities I was interested in. That with Apollo, was a decent experience, was enough to remove the thought of ‘internet commodification’ while browsing.
But shit, this is awesome. Thank you for making this space a pleasure to use and scroll through. Feels like the old days a bit, we’re all just figuring out this new(ish) space.
This is what I want out of my social media … just people talking about a topic and giving their opinion and perspective in a sensible, non antagonistic way. All in simple text with no flash or flair … or advertisements … or anyone or anything automatically trying ‘engage’ us or manipulate us.
No need to know the other person’s personal history or background and just give a bit of trust with everything that is being said in order to drive a conversation.
It’s what social media should be.
