The reality for those that have been through the collapse of Digg and now Reddit due to centralized corporate greed: “WE WONT GET FOOLED AGAIN!”
Decentralized and federated is the future. Hopefully it will be a healthier version of social media.
uffda.
I've been on reddit an embarrassingly long time. From before the rapist thread to violentacrez facilitating abhorrent things.
Lemmy certainly seems less abhorrent and also a bit of a difficult learning curve.
Maybe the curve will keep the trolls out of here... It's a bit like using Linux. Almost all people you interact with are nice and intelligent since you need to be a certain kind of personality to even be interested in learning it.
When something becomes mainstream popular, corporations will stripmine the value and the experience will worsen significantly.
You're not wrong. I also wish it were more accessible to lovely people.
