I’m sick of the internet being 5 sites with all traffic channeled through them and maximum profit in the minds of the greedy corporate sociopaths that run them, it feels as intimate as an airport. I miss the days of niche forums and chat rooms where you could become a regular and build close relationships with the other regulars.

    With reddit moving towards mainstream users, I see lemmy becoming the smaller, more “interesting” technical and niche option, like reddit used to be.

      i hope this comes true and stays as is for a while. I wasn’t around in the early days of reddit, so here I am, watching and learning to see another great community platform grow.
