Reddit’s spiral down was the boiling frog analogy for me.

I’d forgotten what it was like for people have conversations with each other. The change was gradual.

Welcome to the Fediverse! I've found that people tend to have a little more realness when they're part of something they co-create vs merely participating in a company's space. Even if the server this "sub" is on dies, Lemmy and the Fediverse will continue.
