It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
Welcome!
Also, tbh if you make a new community for something you want to see, and post to it maybe once every couple days, your people will eventually find it.
It takes a bit of upfront work to prime the pump, but eventually you’ll find a steady little stream of posts just start to appear.
It almost feels like it’s addressed to you when it happens, like oh! Someone posted in my community! And it’s something new to me! It’s a real treat.
