I joined lemmy after severe frustration with other platforms. It feels like genuine online human forums that are devoid of bots simply do not exist anymore. It also feels like people are more ok with understanding less and less about the world around them, so long as they have an echo chamber in their phone that aligns with their worldview. Is lemmy actually a better environment? You’d think that if you care enough to end up here that you also care enough to notice the world around us dramatically changing. I’m not looking for an answer or an action, just an acknowledgment that the world feels to be on a downward spiral.
I’ve been called a pile of garbage and had some really great civil discussions here so far this year, so I guess it’s better than the alternatives?
Also I don’t feel like I’m being spyed on as much? And I love the support for Linux here?
Well I’ll start by calling you beautiful. I also like the not being spied on feeling. My exploration into Linux did open the door to the fediverse. Sounds like I’ll be alright.
Depends where the instance is hosted, if Cloudflare is involved, and of they give up info to the 14 eyes. Oh and total information awareness is still a thing.
