I like these federated services being kinda "rough around the edges" (programming.dev)

In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.

Being "harder"* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies' services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.

"harder" because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

If reddit hadn’t banned me on the most ridiculous of charges, I wouldn’t have learned of this place.

Over the course of a decade reddit became less and less satisfying, yet I still grieved when I got banned. Over twelve years I accumulated a lot of cool stuff I’d written and I had the evidence of it touching thousands of people. That hurt to lose.

But then I found Lemmy, and it’s like being back in early reddit.
