It’s what we all loved about the internet I think, before the web become… “that” (looking at the pile of shit the web has become).
But actually it’s not the web, not really. It’s the big tech platforms that most people seem to think is the internet now. It’s sad to watch how people log on to “Facebook” and not the general web anymore. And then Google in front of everything, like a big cancer growth.
Lemmy is not the new internet either I believe. But it’s here to show people that something else can exist. As soon as we let advertising in here though, it’s over.
Sounds exactly like what we do at Lemmy.today.
That specific part you said, about letting users decide, is the core idea of the entire instance and has been from the start.
But check out all options before you decide. The Lemmy network needs many different instances to stay strong.
