The relief when I open up Lemmy or Mastodon. It feels like coming home to an experience I didn’t realise I was missing. Lemmy has grown enough now that I can look at my feed throughout the day and there will be interesting posts, all with engaging comments and conversations. It’s like the internet I grew up on, only better: it’s ran by the people, for the people.
Obviously, that doesn’t mean the fedi isn’t plagued with issues. But it feels fundamentally more culturally healthy than whatever the fuck is going on in big corpo social media.
I like it here. Got permabanned from reddit formoffering general safety advice to protestors in Minnesota in early 2025.
Starting an account with Lemmy has been The closest I’ve come to the glory days of Orange-Red vs Periwinkle, and knowing exactly when the narwhal bacons.
I suspect this site will remain largely unknown for a while, among people that don’t like reading words. I’ll stay a while.
Fucking fascist racist piece of shit spez. May his guards be the first ones to desert him during the apocalypse.
He only wants Nazis and bots to be left
I wonder what this “general safety advice” was that got you banned…
