Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

i enjoy the lack of ads and the community, if smaller, seems more welcoming in the subre.... instances? I've visited so far. but everything seems a bit laggy and it's cumbersome to get into. but so far definitely worth the hassle!
Definitely, one of the thing I noticed is that I brought up a rather contentious topic in open source related to the licensing and people engage in it very thoughtfully and diplomatically. If you tried the same thing on Reddit, it often become a toxic squabbles almost every time.
As another commenter mentioned, you'll notice more meaningful conversation can be gained on the Fediverse than on other social media platforms. Everyone here is usually willing to spend some time talking to ya if it catches their attention. Also, not many people delve into politics where it isn't relevant. Just something I've noticed. People like staying on topic more and it's great.
