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.
I'm hoping Lemmy grows more so that the niche communities (that were still relatively active on reddit, even for their neichness) can start to have regular threads going.
What I'd also like to see is posts that I can spend 5-10 minutes in because they have more comments than the ~5 we have now.
I just try to actively contribute. Especially when I’m debating whether I want to or not.
I don’t really enjoy posting or taking pictures, but I’ve been to around 11 countries and have slowly been uploading to Pixelfed just to contribute to the community.
Pixelfed is the one I need to learn to use, I never did Instagram so never know what images to post, or who I'm bothered about following erc.
Post images you like and/or find meaningful to you.
Took a good picture? Post it.
Took a bad picture, but it's of your cat? Post it anyway.
