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.
