I’m staying here on lemmy. I was sensing the quality decline for years and was looking for something else before the recent drama anyway.
Lemmy is the first time I’ve been excited about the internet in a while and most things people complain about here are non issues to me.
Federation and some fracturing? It’s a fail safe feature not a bug. And things will slowly become more centralized over time.
Difficult to grasp conceptually and on board? It’s creating a positive barrier to entry keeping smart and persistent people as the ones entering in.
UI and UX issues? The second biggest instance rn lemmy.world was created only 10 days ago! Chill out and be patient! As the community grows in confident we will get all the QoL features we want.
Small community? It’s growing so rapidly we’re having outages and crashes, people are coming in faster than ever. And your posts will actually be seen and can create real connections with people.
It’s an opportunity to get in on the ground floor and help determine what this place will be!
People are looking at it wrong who are complaining imo and if not then they’re simply not the people I want to interact with anyway. They can go back to corporate ass ad ridden sites like reddit and continue their mindless scrolling there. I’ll be staying here
+1, lemmy/kbin/mastodon are communities users can shape and contribute to (literally to the code as well) far more than reddit. That alone with along with the recent influx of users, makes it a far more interesting place than reddit.
I am probably going to use both for different reasons until June 30 and then just be here full time. Like you wrote , i have being having so much fun here like I have never had before with internet people. Since reddit was the only place I social networked , i am glad Lemmy is the way it currently is and I am excited to what’s to come.
I’m actually kind of excited to start fresh, I have been working to break out of the loops I have been in after noticing every day is just feeling a repeat.
