I know in my heart that it probably won't last, but I have such an awesome feeling of a clean slate with Lemmy. It feels so much more like the old internet before it just became a shopping cart. I don't know how long we can enjoy this brave new world, but I am here for it.

Yeah, this is a core problem. I am trying to understand the main things that need to be built for niche communities/moderators/leaders to thrive.

isn’t feeding a megacorporate machine who sees it’s users as nothing more than cattle to consume their advertisements

Content consumption being re-prioritized is what I view as the main mantra of the federation movement.
