I know it may be a lot of users’ first time using something that is decentralized like this. As I’ve been a Fediverse user for some time, I had been waiting for a big migration like this to happen as it usually happens with Twitter every now and again. Welcome to Fedi, hope you enjoy your stay!

    The Fediverse is home to more open-minded individuals, so that sounds about right. All of us here just like chit-chatting about whatever we nerd over. ;)

      You know, I’m not entirely sure that holds. There was always a great sense of open-mindednes on Reddit; the big problem was populist binary opinions emerging as user density increased.

      While a community is small, individuality can find a greater platform for expression. I have yet to see a larger community able to preserve those ideals, especially in the presence of reductive social proof voting up/down. The real test for Lemmy isn’t today but a few years from now when communities have a greater saturation of users and whether thought diversity will survive a nascent hive mind which these platforms always seem to evolve into.
