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 have started to like Lemmy too. I made an account here because I was IP banned in reddit for expressing my opinion on gender neutral laws in my country

That's the worst part of reddit. You can't say something which go against their ideologies. Although I still want my reddit account back because fediverse isn't popular in my country and there aren't much relevant subs for me in here

Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in

Some platforms are dead but we can change that. If more people post on a "dead" platform it will get alive. I also feel that some communities are missing but we can also change that. If you scroll endlessly then maybe try to be on maybe just some social media platforms. I really like Lemmy and hope you will also like it in the future.

How did you find out about Lemmy out of interest?
