Yup… my aunt told me she sent me an important message via FB. I was inspired. (lemmy.world)

Our Lemmy experiences are not similar.

Just read all the comments but only have time to reply to you.

I am convinced that few Lenny user experiences are the same — and that’s a good thing. I stand by the meme for the simple reason when I post to Lenny I’m not putting money into the pocket of anyone.

I guess that’s the biggest draw for me.

And that I feel users here, whether they agree with one another or whether they might be toxic, they are at least thoughtful and attempt to support their claims with reason and evidence.

And I never feel used at Lemmy the way I have on FB ETC.

That's true. There is more genuine discussion on Lemmy than on any other platform. Facebook is completely devoid of anything meaningful these days, and reddit isn't too far behind for everything except niche communities. Unfortunately Lemmy doesn't have enough people or content for me to just stick to my niche communities like I do on Reddit, so I see a whole lot more doomerism, and political outrage here, despite my extensive block list.

Thinking about your name, Anticorp. Just watched The Internet’s Own Boy. It’s a doc on the life and death of Aaron Swartz. If you haven’t seen it you will appreciate it.

Thanks for the recommendation.
