After i joined the Fediverse, i deleted my accounts on Reddit, Twitter & Facebook a few days later. Yesterday, i deleted TikTok too and i will delete Instagram more or less soon. I hope some friends will change to the Fedi until then.

Ive had enough of all the ads and people just want fame. Make Social Media better!

    I don’t usually use social media apps at all. But lemmy to me reminds of old school forums. A few people interested in a subject keep that section of the forum alive.

      Yeah, it really feels like a new kind of forum.

      Before I used forums to discover topics of interest, then the same thing was possible on reddit, lots of micro communities centered around a subject, no need to host your forum anymore, well now reddit showed its ugly face and lemmy seems a nice replacement

    You’ll only be one of us once you go through the no-poop challenge! Before that you’re still a redditor.

    I’m joking. Welcome! Things are rough but improving; nothing is perfect here, a lot of things suck major balls, but it’s getting better. In the meantime Reddit, Xitter /ʃɪt.ə/ and Faecesbook are all going downhill. Long term you’ll feel glad for migrating.

    Good for you, i havent deleted shit, but don’t visit them often, changed my habits, dont regret it.

    E-pen used to be a joke to measur you eletronic-penis and people would joke about it being you ego and used to measure the shit you did online, now e-pen seems to be real where people measure the number of followers to evaluate a person’s worth, we are going in the wrong direction…

      Yeah… todays social media is more a commercial ad platform than social media.

      the fediverse is the new ‘futuristic’ social media since its main goal is to connect people and make social media more social
