What a thought…we’ll have to form opinions of people based upon what they write, not on points that could always be faked or whored. Popularity is an incredibly stupid measure of quality. I’d like to see the up/down arrow on threads replaced by a simple view counter, too.

In fairly short order, once I left Twitter for Mastodon, I became far more active than I ever had been on the birdsite. And already, I’ve found there is nothing on reddit that I was following that I can’t find with Lemmy. I suspect I’ll become a lot more involved here over time.

It’s not that the fediverse is a good replacement for twatter, Reddit, Facebook, etc…it’s what we all should have been doing all along. It’s like having old school usenet back.
