Lemmy has naturally become the unofficial home of furries and trans. I love it and am happy to be here for it before it goes mainstream and gets enshitified. We’re living tomorrow’s good ole days and don’t even know it.

I’m not saying it’s impossible for the fediverse to enshittify, but it seems to me that it probably won’t. We’ve already shown that we’re resistant to corporate “embrace, extend, extinguish” strategies.
