Hello world! I'm one of the many reddit refugees who found out about lemmy after the blackouts. The ray of light in the whole twitter debacle was finding out about mastodon, and the greater fediverse, so when I saw reddit going the same direction, I was already primed to look for a federated platform to jump ship to.
Lately I couldn't help shake the feeling that the current state of the internet was just wrong, and I longed for the early days when it felt like a giant collection of unique and interesting communities, all linking to each other. I truly feel like this is the next step in the evolution of the world wide web, and that massive corporate-controlled social media websites were just a brief distraction from actual progress.
It's good to be home.
