New to Lemmy and I quit reddit years ago and I remembered that r/conservatives was hostile to me for voicing my politics certain other subreddit made fun of me if I was wrong. I’m newish to the fediverse. I’m digging mastodon even though I never did Twitter
I was never on those subs. I use Linux to wipe laptops I sell and I used for projects, I feel if I joined the sub then the posts would go over my head.
I’m pretty sure I left before the API fiasco. All I thought at the time is that corporations copy each other. Elon apparently had an effect on reddit
it doesn’t have to be linux specifically; lemmy was created as a safe space at intersection of open source technology; leftist politics; and genz style shitposting, if your interests align with any of those, then lemmy is purpose built for you.
and corporations copying each other is the reason why lemmy has become my primary platform. i’ve been moving from one social media platform onto another each time each platform enshitified because of corporate policies since the days of icq and bbs. my experience teaches me that anything centralized enough or with sufficient financial backing will likewise enshitify eventually, like reddit did, so i stay away from things like bluesky or mastodon.
