I’m kinda at a loss for words.

This isn’t even trying to be different from Twitter from what I see here.

I’m curious with so much disdain.

What was your reason for joining the Lemmy community?

Federated social media has been around for ages now. It’s just becoming more popular because of Reddits self induced stroke.

Well I’m sure many others will also say

“peace”

I don’t think a single one of us came here to see it wrecked or taken over.

That being said, I do not like facebook and likely won’t stay on servers that federate with them. Especially if the instances start abiding by facebooks terms. That’s where I’m drawing the line.

That is the beauty of the Fediverse. You choose your landing and build your aggregation based off that.

A large issue I see is people coming here and expecting privacy to be default. By nature the Fediverse is actually more public than a centralized service would be. There is almost unrestricted access to what you post from anywhere within the Fediverse.

People need to keep this in mind when posting.

Enjoying it so far. It is definitely taking some getting used to. Was testing Liftoff! And now on Memmy. Finding Memmy to be more enjoyable especially with being able to set dark for ease of visibility.
