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’ve only been here a few days, but I genuinely think the Fediverse is the future of social media. It’s not yet polished, but the potential of it all was an epiphany when I finally understood it. I’d forgotten what the real Internet was.

It was about two years ago that Matrix finally stuck for me, and while I actually tried using Mastodon, I don't like following people. Hashtags help, but it's not the same as a community.

For the topics I want to engage in, the critical mass is already here.

And the users control it not some corporate entity. There will be no ads, no tracking and no shareholders. The revolution will not be televised

Fuck yes, could not phrase it better. I had forgotten what the Internet was.
