MODERATORS
I'm very happy this space is flourishing. Lots of organic conversation and increased engagement. My only hope is that this revolt against corporate social media will be sustained. I would love to see this turn in to an existential threat to the companies selling our data and privacy to the highest-bidding advertiser.
The fediverse faces structural issues of its own, but they're different issues than corporate social media, which gives me a lot of hope that they can outlive them. I really want Lemmy and Mastodon to become the norm, they would be much healthier online spaces for everyone.
With the usage increase of app like Discord the contraction of social media will be the norm in the following years. Instead of having a single instance that hosts everything, we'll have a smaller but higher quality of communities. My social circle has encountered something similar; I deleted my social media accounts but kept a Discord server where I hang out with my friends. Quality over quantity is the name of the game now.
Same here. The only social I have been on since 2014 was reddit. I was on reddit earlier, but that's when I dropped Facebook. I never used Twitter or Instagram or Snapchat or whatever.
Social media has some good qualities but it's still young and we haven't figured out how to safely regulate it. Maybe this federation thing is the way
I like this idea, but I find Discord’s UI hostile to new users. Any good alternatives?
Matrix. I've been using the element app.
Thanks, I’ll check it out
Until discord shits the bed. I've been enjoying matrix, it's a bit more like IRC.
Tbh I was kind of weirded out when everyone decided just to accept our chatrooms would now belong to one company.
People here are less argue-y and more conversational. I like it (I say this as an argue-y person)
I wonder if we are seeing a lack of bots at this point on Lemmy. I'm kinda hoping this place stays just under the radar for a long time
