I’m a huge nerd, so the reason I joined Lemmy is because I was looking for a social media platform that conforms with my views on FOSS, moderation, and internet privacy. I would assume many other people are in the same boat, but is that accurate? Who’s just here because they looked up “Reddit alternatives?”
I’m a techie and left reddit after the api-desaster. I won’t use things when they have ads. Period. And I’m glad I found lemmy.
