I had joined Reddit twice in my lifetime but was not actively using it, and maybe that’s the reason I’m not very familiar with this forum culture.
I would say that Lemmy is by far the most responsive SNS in terms of the community engagement that I’ve ever used.
Its a great community, reddit kinda feels like a giant automated cashflow farm, here it feels more like a village square! (For now)
I personally would prefer to not to post/moderate on reddit so the assholesin charge can make money off of what I do.
Lemmy is amazing. we can always switch to a new instanc and still use Lemmy if the one we are on turns into what we left behind. Also more moderator transparency. At the bottom of every page is a link to the mod log. You can even filter by user. Feel free to type my name. I’m sure I’ve gotten something by now.
So do you think with the mass adoption in the future will ruined Lemmy just like Reddit?
You can switch to a new instance and still stay on lemmy. You can even join certain instances that defederate with other instances they (rightfully or otherwise) deem problematic.
Good luck in your search for your digital commune that best reflects your values. Maybe you’re already there and you don’t know it yet. Peace either way, welcome aboard.
Thanks for the advice, mate.
I believe that any location that has eyeballs for advertisers or propagandists will always eventually be ruined for greed or power. The question is how long it will take. Even with careful moderation, slip up happens, corruption is slowly allowed, and special interests will seek to sway popular opinion in one way or the other.
What a great take from you! Btw I also have a friend that his name quite similar to your name, Mechaquan. He is ICP advocate.
