I'm not here because Lemmy is a better alternative (self.lemmyworld)

I'm here because it's eventually going to be the better alternative.

FOSS by its nature, will keep on improving. And proprietary bloatware, by its nature, will only gonna get worse.

I'm about utility. Online social engagement is a need. People who can't connect need a way to connect. This is a public utility, a social service. It needs to be streamlined, free, and as open as possible to anyone who wishes to participate.

It is a human right to connect. We shouldn't hide it beind any paywall, ad, company, entity or outside will. People have a right to enter the room, speak and listen without being attacked by anything.
