Many have already expressed this sentiment, but I'll add my voice to the chorus.
Access to knowledge and resources generated by people for the purposes of being useful to other people, and without the pretext or subtext of profit.
Effective digital mutual aid, for lack of a better term
Yeah, it seems like a renessaince of the original internet philosophy.
I truly hope so.
The main barrier here, I think, will be the general clunkiness of Lemmy. I assume it is a consequence of its federated organization, but it took me several attempts over the course a few days before Lemmy would even let me make an account.
I'm nuts, so I kept trying. But If the barrier of entry is too difficult to for most people to bother with, i'm skeptical Lemmy will be able to be truly independent of Reddit.
