So I’ve tried Mastodon, Pixelfed and didn’t like them. Mastodon is nice if you wanna ”tweet”, but that’s not for me. Pixelfed was dead.

I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.

Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.

Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.

    I’m getting banned on a lot of communities here on Lemmy, I’m just taking it for a ride.

    Fediverse is a great step forward. But it really creates echo chambers, even more so than on Reddit I feel.

    On Reddit you have for example capitalismvsocialism or purplepilldebate.

    Places that people come together to talk out their differences (or yell at eachother, 70% of the time).

    If there’s an open source platform where people can create communities but can’t ban people on them. I’d join it in a heartbeat.

    But then the problem would be things like CP.

    So I suppose that’s just not going to be possible.

    There’s always going to be abuse, difficult to find a middle ground

      Yeah you’re right.

      Fediverse is a great step forward. But it really creates echo chambers, even more so than on Reddit I feel.

      But the difference is that you can create your own instances too if you don’t like their ideologies. Or even make your community. So it’s slightly better

      Btw have you gotten any better alternative of Reddit?

        No I have not found anything else, haven’t been looking either to be honest.

        Mastodon has 1 million downloads, but it’s a twitter alternative. Can give that a go

            Please let me know if you find another alternative. Forum social media is my favourite too.
