Made the switch 4 years ago. No regrets.
First, thank you for the detailed response.
Second, I think you finally convinced me to delete my FB. I will link to this comment wherever possible to show people what a terrible company Meta is.
Can you tell us more about what they are like?
Old but gold.
Trust me, the shit show is glorious. I even instinctively upvoted a couple of medieval memes but quickly realized what I was doing and closed the tab.
Oh definitely. I've been on a continuous Lemmy/kbin binge since Friday. This place is way more enjoyable than reddit because:
- Your voice matters. People actually upvote and reply!
- There is no karma! One less thing to obsess over (though you can see how many posts/comments a user has made).
- The content is much more interesting and reminiscent of the early days of Reddit.
- Maybe I'm too nerdy but I like how clean the site is.
- There is absolutely zero commercial interest across the entire lemmyverse and it's awesome. You can talk to actual people and have fun!
- It feels magical that there are all these different Lemmy and kbin servers and you can see people from 10 instances talking to each other in the same thread.
I’ve found this post by filtering by new :)
TIL. Thank you! (Now I will ssh into all my VPSes and set this up!)
(cool username btw)
