It's not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods... y'all just nice people. Lemmy's got a good vibe going... or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

For me it's the freedom. No big corp is over my shoulder, No one person is in control. Even if the admin's for lemmy.world go crazy or something I can just make another account on another instance. I'm actually planning on running my own instance but I'm broke so it'll probably for just my friends and I, running on some office PC I find for cheap on Ebay

If you do this, highly suggest VMs so you can host more stuff. There's soooo many options and it's a lot of fun. Home Assistant (/c/homeassistant) in particular has been pretty life-changing for me, but that's a whole thing lol
