Was just browsing my favorite communities, commenting on posts I found really interesting, and engaging with other users who wanted to have conversations.
… and not a single paid ad in my feed. I effing love this platform.
Less bullshit from US is also a plus. Less “muh guns”, “muh rights”, “freedumb” and “here’s why it’s fine when US does/did bad things”.
The reddit exodus increased these types but generally there’s not a hoard of them yet.
Less American propaganda is nice too.
Yet it’s still noticeable that people from the US are way overrepresented compared to all other countries.

I’ve been on Lemmy since June and I haven’t once seen a video of a dude punching a girl. It always made me queasy that shit was soooo popular on reddit.

Reddit feels like you are in a thread of bots talking each other. And the thread sliding is so tiring.
As usual the early adopters set the precedent.
I CANT wait till the average joe discovers the fediverse! They won’t know how shitty the regular web is until they join and actually use it.
User controlled social media, what the internet should have been on day one. We’re taking the web back.
I’ve thought about it too … but with federation it’s a non issue.
Don’t like X or Y community because of their toxicity? Block them!
