I’ve only made two posts so far, but everyone has given legitimate and intelligent responses to both. It’s made me realize how not used to that I had become. It’s an overwhelming positive feeling to not be nervous about sharing with this community. Thank you to all of you

    The nice part about Federation is that if an instance has problematic people they can just be blocked, exploding-heads.com is an alt right cesspool but most of the big instances on Lemmy block them, and I block them on my own (idk if you’ll see this on Mastodon or wherever you are so hope you do)

      And vice versa, if someone’s on Lemmy and I’m on kbin, we’re using the same shared content pool as long as we’re federated and thus we don’t have to worry about sites “dying.” I can’t browse reddit without going to reddit, but I can browse lemmy instances with whatever fediverse instance I please.

      @cptapathetic I see it on Friendica 😁 alt-right? I genuinely thought it was another tankie home or something. Specially by looking at the communities and posts, as well as the people there who were also on lemmy.ml

      Edit: I see they also have a TheDonald community. Oh well ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯
