My Initial Impression about Lemmy (lemmy.ml)

I had joined Reddit twice in my lifetime but was not actively using it, and maybe that’s the reason I’m not very familiar with this forum culture.

I would say that Lemmy is by far the most responsive SNS in terms of the community engagement that I’ve ever used.

So do you think with the mass adoption in the future will ruined Lemmy just like Reddit?

You can switch to a new instance and still stay on lemmy. You can even join certain instances that defederate with other instances they (rightfully or otherwise) deem problematic.

Good luck in your search for your digital commune that best reflects your values. Maybe you're already there and you don't know it yet. Peace either way, welcome aboard.

Thanks for the advice, mate.

I believe that any location that has eyeballs for advertisers or propagandists will always eventually be ruined for greed or power. The question is how long it will take. Even with careful moderation, slip up happens, corruption is slowly allowed, and special interests will seek to sway popular opinion in one way or the other.

What a great take from you! Btw I also have a friend that his name quite similar to your name, Mechaquan. He is ICP advocate.
