Same, while I do feel Lemmy and Jerboa need some work, I feel like they are enough there already to make it work. In a lot of ways it feels better than reddit, idk why

Yeah it felt like activity quickly picked up here and I don't miss reddit, I miss some communities a bit but I am sure they will move here with time. I also feel with things like this just going cold turkey is the most effective way to not miss it (at least for me)
I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy
It is the best month for it
doesn't matter, everyone can interact with all federated instances
To me it feels like the soul of the old internet in the look and convenience of the modern internet. I am not sure if that's the right assumption since, but I feel like this decentralised, anyone can make a forum and host it and connect to others (fediverse) is what the internet was supposed to be like, a way to share information amongst each other
that explains why I couldn't make an account there
Good, it's a small victory but one step closer to a society that doesn't create waste just to buy the next new shiny toy. Products should be build to last, be easily repairable and create as little waste as possible (which isn't possible in a system that demands unlimited growth over anything else). If we want to have a somewhat ok climate in the future, just focusing on electric vehicles (which are doing the whole subscription to access your hardware fully, not easily repairable bs as well) isn't gonna cut it.
Lack of empathy is the result of many issues in the world. And add to that their internal view of: ofc their abortion is justified, they are not like those people...they are also unwilling to realise they themselves are part of the people they hate in (getting abortions themselves) because they have spent so much time othering and dehumanising women who get abortions that they can not mentally accept that they are just like them.
Because they have community rules? It's pretty normal for communities and online spaces to have rules and moderate those rules and if you misbehave aka ignore said rules, you get either your comment deleted or banned. Just like in real life, if you are at my house and you don't follow my rules and just dig holes in my garden or destroy something because it's fun, I will show you the door. Same goes for online places. The server/instance owner/host etc makes the rules
I don't understand the outrage..
