That’s one of the reasons that I was able to join a Mastodon instance that didn’t revolve around people leaving Twitter. Sure, I became more active on it when I wanted to reduce my Twitter usage, but there was already a good community of people that I knew and I could interact with about everyday things, rather than just complaining about Twitter. Hopefully this instance becomes a bit like that, where it’s a separate community that’s kind of like Reddit but also its own thing.

I’m just starting to figure it out, but I think it’ll work out to be its own thing, even if it won’t replace Reddit. Just as I enjoy both Mastodon and Twitter (though Twitter is becoming less and less enjoyable) I see something similar happening with Lemmy.

I’m also not opposed to a bit of fracturing. I grew up in the era of online message boards, and I still enjoy those and honestly think there’s some that are better than anything on Reddit. Having small areas where people can talk about one of their niche interests is cool.

I can’t get over how pompous Jacob Frey is acting during all of this. The mayor that’s had full control of the MPD for six years (at least according to him on the campaign trail back in 2017) and the ship is still just as bad, if not worse, than the day he came into office.
