I see Lemmy and the fediverse more as an evolution of how we approach the web. We should absolutely cater to more casual users eventually, and try to have as many people as possible to leave behind these greedy internet monopolies. We clearly saw that they’re not the way to go.
How we get there is a bit of a question mark, it’s clear that there’s a big push from more involved/aware users to break away from big corporations. This doesn’t mean we’re building on outrage, just that it was the initial push to get something new started.
If the attention this post is getting isn’t a strong indicator of what our communities want, and the direction that the fediverse and all instance admins should follow, then nothing will be.
Especially now, because of the extra obstacles of joinin the fediverse, users are on average more aware of the implications of such a thing. We should listen our people.
Absolutely, and it’s been very refreshing to see discussion get broader and be filled with memes and other interesting content.

Exactly, we’re not defined by our relationship with Reddit.
This hurt to read, good job.

And people will join on there and it will have more success than better alternatives probably, at least for now. It’s mindblowing how little people care/understand.
And it’s not even like Meta offers any good service, FB has been crap forever.
Same, I tried to move to Signal a couple years ago, but I couldn’t get anybody except one friend to follow, so I gave up on it. I would try again, but I know it wouldn’t go any different, yet.
Don’t tell me what not to tell you!
