It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

Welcome! It's cozy here :-)

But make sure you filter out what agitates you. For many here, that is the Tankie fraction. Lemmy has a fair bunch of left authoritarian instances with users that are prone to having unpopular takes, and being very adamant about them - if that isn't to your liking, block out the lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net instances to avoid most of it.

(But if you like heated discussions with delusional people, by all means, go ahead lol)

Except for the centrists and conservatives here who are terminally obsessed with tankies who feel the need to warn everyone in every single "I am new" post.

Stop

Lol i am neither centrist nor conservative. I am a Socialist, and even i am tired of the bullshit the LeftAuth is spilling all over Lemmy. Stop pretending otherwise.

I am not pretending their aren't leftist idiots here, I am pointing out the unhealthy weird obsession some people have in this place with hating on them.
