Cause all I want is a platform that isn’t shoving ads down your throat; respects privacy; helps you feel connected with peers; and isn’t plastered with hate.

Twitter was all those things in the beginning. LinkedIn was all those things in the beginning. The Internet in general was all those things in the beginning. I’ve never used IG/TT but I assume they were all those things in the beginning. Lemmy will probably be said to be most of those things in the beginning. With age comes wisdom, which comes once you’ve seen the pattern happen enough times, which can only come with age. Sincerely, One of those old people.
