    Hearing about the Reddit api stuff over the horizon gave me the kick in the rear to finally do it, but I also just wanted to explore the fediverse more and do my part to help it grow. These days news about advancing technology is usually bad news, but the fediverse is a genuinely exciting idea that’s improving our lives and giving us more agency, with no real tradeoff. With Lemmy in particular hopefully only at the beginning of a massive user surge, this is for me at least the most exciting corner of the fediverse too

      I am same. I’m generally opposed to social media for the most part, but I made a Mastodon and a Lemmy account today. I dislike social media because I think it has a mostly negative effect on its users, but I’m hoping to be the change I want to see in the world. 😊
