It is. For me, it shows we can easily have fun user-controlled social media. That’s the key to take back the web. That’s positive and makes me feel good. But unfortunately, the vast majority of people seem to not care at all about this. Of the dozens of people I spoke too about Lemmy, not a single one joined. I got a single friend to join Mastodon. I don’t understand why so many people, organisation, media, that say they’re “left leaning” cant stick to Musk’s garbage X. Gotta be patient.
Seriously? Can’t people just use social platform the way they want to? Like, just chose what you want to follow and ignore the rest. Or create you own server where you can cherry pick users. But if you “original people” insist on circlejerking one another, I really dont mind packing my shits and leaving Lemmy. I dit it for facebook, reddit and multiple others already.
User controlled social media, what the internet should have been on day one. We’re taking the web back.
