We’re not even close to being huge yet and the lizard king already has ideas of capitalizing on us. Let’s not pretend that this fediverse would ultimately become the utopia Reddit failed to be, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction.
Someone suggested that we should use this to find instances nearer to us. I did that and it has been running a lot smoother on my end apart from the occasional loading issues on subs in Lemmy.world.
There’s definitely some getting used to for new immigrants like us from Reddit. The nature of Fediverse forces us to give up on the concept of “karma” and be ready to hop from one instance to another at any given time. The good thing is we’ll be seeing much fewer karma-farming bots, which I assume would be an even much bigger issue on Reddit now that so many of the genuine users have left. Shitty mods, rampant bots, subs going dark/NSFW. What a shit show.
That’s awesome. Wonder if we’ll ever be able to see the rise of a community like nosleep.
