I’m a huge nerd, so the reason I joined Lemmy is because I was looking for a social media platform that conforms with my views on FOSS, moderation, and internet privacy. I would assume many other people are in the same boat, but is that accurate? Who’s just here because they looked up “Reddit alternatives?”
I just answered on the other lemmy post (about are you on here 100%) but I’m not a tech person. I googled alternatives, plus I understood the benefits of federation so that’s how I came to Lemmy.
