Lemmy

When I joined mastodon during the Twitter Diaspora I learnt more about alternativee, (actually) decentralized social Networks and mostly the Fediverse. I wanted to try something different and know more. Thanks of this I've actually realized how fucked up the enveroinment in other commercial social media platforms. I love that the Fediverse is decentralized and maintained by people like me so that companies and the American govt don't spy on me

At least here people are actually willing to have a conversation without ending up insulting you just because you have a different opinion and you're not a white bourgeois girl

@GoldenDoge Because it is a topic-oriented access to the Fediverse.
I don't have any experience with #Reddit or similar, but rather like that it's a kind of forum where the content is a bit more sorted than in the micro-/macroblogging software. Nevertheless, everyone with accounts from #Misskey, #Mastodon, #Friendica, #Hubzilla etc. can also comment and create posts in #Lemmy communities. So the circle of users is much larger than just Lemmy alone.

So Reddit might do away with API. Will that effect RSS feeds too? I look at Reddit but the subs I'm really interested in are tracked in my InoReader. If that goes I'll be done with Reddit.

Reddit's been spiraling downhill for years. Been searching for an alternative that's not the cesspits of Twitter and 4chan. API is getting killed, government and corporations pushing agendas, armchair experts, subreddit bannings, poor UI/UX, echochambers, hardly any OC, and many many other issues that I'm sure others have already mentioned. I'm dumping the site as soon as old.reddit goes down.

There's nothing but outrage culture on social media. Just looking for a spot to chill really...

I’ve been looking for a change from Reddit for a while now and as an Apollo user this is the push I needed. So far this seems like a much better alternative to Reddit!

Reddit is an absolute dumpster fire right now.

I've been chasing the old Usenet feel for decades. Reddit came close, but I can see the writing on the wall now. Lemmy's got the possibility to get closer.
