Freedom from the more toxic elements of commercial social media! Honestly, I’ve been using Mastodon a lot more lately, and now with Lemmy, things are starting to feel more like the beginning of my online use back in the early 1990’s, when communicating directly with folks with shared interests weren’t tied to ads, algorithms pushing outragement=engagement, and influencers. It’s a real sigh of relief. Happy to be here.
