Yeah, it's a bummer Reddit went the way it did. But here we are. I'll miss it to a point. Still figuring out Lemmy, we'll see how it goes. I've tried Mastodon a bit as well but it feels more like Twitter to me, which I used for maybe a week years ago. No thanks.

I never got into Twitter and was freaked out by the content on Mastodon. I just want a nice chill community that shares interesting information/news/facts/pics.

Freaked out by the content? What was there?

They might have been on an instance that federate with things like poast and noagendasocial

not heard of those but I'm guessing they're 'free speech' servers for 'honest everyday people'

Basically yeah, "free speech" and shitposting, basically right wing bigots doing bigot things.

Pretty much and felt like I was being put on an FBI list for just having visited the place lol...

well, for me at least, Mastodon IS an alternative to twitter, though it may change since it is federated (?) with lemmy? And yeah, my mastodon account is just collecting virtual dust there lmao
