Yeah Open Source is the foundation, and the future!

That’s true, and that’s why I like this place: it isn’t built on greed.

Yes - lemmy is faster, and the UI is cleaner - yet the hidden advantage is what lemmy avoids:

1. no nsfw. 22% of reddit is NSFW¹. You do a search for “hope” and every fourth result is someone’s naked ass.

2. no karma-farmers… reddit and twitter are excellent honeypots - I hope they stay there!

3. no corporate interest. People are becoming more aware of corporate spying/greed, and will increasingly seek places like this.

It’s far better to attract good people than to attract the most people!

Excellence and quality are created by what you provide, but also by what you avoid!

That’s why this place is great.

[I’m sure you’ve pondered all this already - just expressing gratitude]

Yes that’s true. This format is great for quality posts and discussions.

Do you consider lemmy (this post) to be a micro-blog?

Or are you referring to other federated platforms?

[I’m asking because I genuinely don’t know]

Let me de-clickbait this article for you…

It should be called:

“Things I personally dislike about the fediverse (which is alive)”

…on many occasions - that article disagrees with itself.

I love you too.

I bet that was a high-adrenaline click.

And a big smile when it succeeded :)

A thought about sincerity:

If this article’s thesis is: “Love each other. Don’t get cynical. Don’t lose joy”… (the last paragraph)

then maybe the article’s title (and body) should feel uplifting and visionary, instead of sarcastic and fuming.

… then it would transcend its own rage.

Okay, it’s a deal.
