    Reddit is about cynicism— Fediverse is about progress. Optimism.

    I’m a later comer here I think but I know everyone here met a great deal of disappointment in the redddit collapse.

    What if we rebuild together — something that lives up to the possibilities?

      You sound like the CEO at my old company 🤣

      Fediverse makes improvements on existing social media formats, but there are so many issues inherent to online social media that cannot be fixed by slightly changing the format.

      Short-term, consequence-free interaction with strangers is not a substitute for actual social interaction, but it’s become one of the default modes of socialization in the modern world. It’s a bell that can’t be un-rung, but moving from reddit to lemmy isn’t going to mute it in any significant way either.

        We are in complete agreement about the “value” of social media — very little. The real value as you imply is in-person humans making kind conversation in physical environments. Let’s do that.

        I’m really only here because I want to participate in the fall of Reddit — but just moments ago I was having a coffee with five close face to face friends — that’s where it’s really happening.
