least repeated question on asklemmy 🤭
There was a poster on reddit promoting fediverse alternatives to mainstream social platforms. It caught my attention and so I signed up on lemmy whilst not yet fully grasping what was meant by "federation" and "decentralization".
On a side note, there's this nostalgic sentiment to my early days on this platform. It was a novel experience, and this is where I fell into the rabbit hole of privacy and libre culture. Lemmy's content was a huge rupture from what I used to consume on reddit.
