As an internet oldie, my Lemmy experience has given me a serious throwback to the childhood of the internet.

The last couple of weeks I have read more genuine articles, blogs and been exposed to more real people than I've been in a long time. I had forgotten what internet was before seo and bots, but you have reminded me.

So, I just want to say thank you to all of you magnificent people here!

for anyone spending a few days on Lemmy it becomes obvious that stripping off all the advertising, algorithms and gunk attaching itself to online forums makes for a much better user experience.

The priority is to communicate, instead of making money... who knew that makes for an engaging experience!

You don't have to go far into Threads to imagine how that's going.
