If you read what I wrote, open source social media is also easier to consume and interact with in the manner I described. Usenet, e-mail, IRC, forums, even private messaging and group-chats are all both healthier to interact with and less demanding of our time than “services” that bury the content we want to see like facebook and the rest.
Every single on is still around and in use by the same people who built the internet and others who get more done for themselves and open-source projects than you or I or most of us on Lemmy and the more modern de-federated schemes.

This place feels like Reddit before it enshittified. I missed those old days.

That’s somewhat depressing if so as I’ve run into so many assholes here. Still, interesting to know.

I’m talking like 2012 era. I mean where are assholes and dumbasses but that was what it was always like. Things got worse because corpos are abusing us for money and now we’re returning to the mean, where good things are possible again. You just gotta turn out the shitheads that’s all
