I see a lot of people saying they'd love to have that type of content here when Meta federates, and that those will be the best instances because they will have the most content, but they will still be accessible without compromising their privacy.

I truly don't get this.

I'm not here for mass-produced content, if I wanted that, I'd be in other platforms. The beauty of these communities is they are not filled with posts that are all the same, algorithms and bots. It's just a community of real people having conversations.

If you want mass-produced trendy content, please, consume it elsewhere, and when you are inevitably fed up, then come here and enjoy the slow-paced, real community.

PD: I hope this doesn't come across as wall-keeping (or however it's said lol), It's my honest opinion.

I mean, I never had FB, IG, Tw or TT. I only ever had Reddit for the past few years, and basically no SN before that.

It was still fun to occasionally get a slice of what other people do on those networks, and stay borderline in the loop.

So I see the same here.

Now yes, I did enjoy Lemmy a tad more during June, but... One of the major points of networks like this is that everyone likes something different, and you can choose what to watch and what to avoid.

On Reddit I had stopped looking at r/all after a while, and the same will be true here I suspect. So why complain when you can simply choose what to follow?
