Lemmy

It really feels like people here are actually engaging in more natural conversation, as opposed to reddit where it's often a) venting, b) preaching to the choir to nobody's benefit and creating an echo chamber, c) arguing really vehemently about whether person A should like X video game/book/whatever or not, d) pointing at xyz things you hate and talking about how you hate it with other people who hate it, and such. Commenting on reddit often felt like screaming into a void, and the void ignores you. Or it stares back and now you have 332 downvotes and a reddit cares message for liking an unpopular book or saying black lives matter or whatever.

I don't quite trust Lemmy yet. I'm afraid it might just be the shiny new thing effect. But I'm hopeful.
