It's been great. I'm allergic to social media, yet Lemmy does not feel like social media (to me at least). I hope that the Reddit horde won't turn it into a toxic cesspool.
Reddit didn't feel like social media either for the longest time until it did.
If the users create the content, it is social media
It all went downhill after the Digg exodus, for me. But even then there were small safe haven subreddits, until those started to disappear too.
agreed. what I like about lemmy is the federated community run aspect of it. it will be much harder for corporate overlords to infiltrate and corrupt, as there isn't a central organization/entity they can buy to gain control. or, that's the theory anyway.
law of averages: everywhere there's large numbers of people, we're bound to run into people problems
but I'm optimistic that this community will help to self moderate to weed out the bad actors. I'm also hopeful the toxic cesspool will self congregate in their own instances, and leave this one alone.
