There are a few users joining now every day, and I was thinking it would be nice with some short introductions, if you want to. :)
I for one has grown really tired of what social media is today, and I wanted to try out alternatives where people can actually relax and communicate without being tracked and subjected to horrible ads. Since im a technical guy who currently works in devops, I figured I would start https://lemmy.today, and try to be of service to the community in that way.
Im so tired of internet ads, and I have installed https://pi-hole.net as a network ad blocker at home. So this means my entire family benefits also (everyone on the wifi). Its super interesting to watch how windows and mac machines are constantly calling home, reporting activity, even when the devices are idle. I recommend you guys to do the same if you have the know-how.
Im a long time linux user, and even though it has its frustrations sometimes, specially with screen sharing, its worth it for me to just feel like I own my computer and whats running on it.
So I guess thats a little bit about me. I would love to hear from you guys if you feel confident making a post and share who you are and why you got interested in Lemmy. And also why you are looking for alternatives to reddit. :)
Thank you!
