Overall, I really like Lemmy, and the communities therein. There do seem to be some more radical takes on this platform than I’m used to. I haven’t heard of anyone being swatted or anything like that on here (or even actively doxxed), but there do seem to be more radical takes that what I’m used to on other platforms. I generally don’t engage with those groups. I’m just here for the memes, and to share my knowledge on topics I like. I don’t want to have to worry much about some bored, idealistic shitlord taking offense and going out of their way to nuke me.

As a new motorhead, how carefully do I need to tread, compared to other platforms? I ask, because it seems like posts on here are cast to a much broader network.

    Maybe try Squabbles, it sounds more like what you’re after. It’s chill, mostly memes and nice vibes, but it’s a bit too nice for me.

      aaaaaand a for-profit focused developer. It’s going to introduce ads and a Twitter blue-like subscription model. Don’t join this.

        It might be what they want though, a lot of people don’t care about federation and ads. I’m not one of those people but if they just want pics of dogs, memes and to talk about their day it’s more appropriate than lemmy.

          It’s simple. I’m just against capitalistic corporations taking over our information again. And of course Ads = annoyance/spyware and for-profit = a likely enshittification in the near future.
