I’m loving Lemmy. And I’m loving this instance. Great conversation, no bots, no ads. It seems like there are so many intentional, thoughtful comments here (and Lemmy as a whole) than Reddit.

The way I used reddit was to unsub from all of the defaults and only subscribe to smaller communities I was interested in. That with Apollo, was a decent experience, was enough to remove the thought of ‘internet commodification’ while browsing.

But shit, this is awesome. Thank you for making this space a pleasure to use and scroll through. Feels like the old days a bit, we’re all just figuring out this new(ish) space.

This is what I want out of my social media ... just people talking about a topic and giving their opinion and perspective in a sensible, non antagonistic way. All in simple text with no flash or flair .... or advertisements ... or anyone or anything automatically trying 'engage' us or manipulate us.

No need to know the other person's personal history or background and just give a bit of trust with everything that is being said in order to drive a conversation.

It's what social media should be.
