Imagine if I didnt join fedi. It was on my bucket list for like 2 years before I eventually did. I didn't expect me to fit in. I expected to be just as ignored and id forget about it soon enough. Sure it would be opensource and decentralized but id be just as unseen. Thats why I put it off for so long cuz it was effort and stuff and I figured it was gonna be the same.
Fedi is made great by a lot of things but a huge part is that u can have 0 followers and if u post stuff people like then someone will see it for sure and probably interact with it in some way.
@ChaosKitsune I had a bit of a rocky start when I finally jumped from Reddit. I landed over in kBin and that was and still is a big mess. It wasn't until I migrated over to this side of Fedi that I had the experience that you just highlighted.
For the first time I really feel like my peers in this space are my actual friends and not using me to promote their own interests are social media presence. I love hanging out here because all we do is chill, post memes, artwork, personal projects and make each other feel better.
It's literally the best place on the internet :ablobcatrainbow:
@NumbersCanBeFun@ChaosKitsune I've said this before, and I'll say it again: here on fedi, the people you interact with feel like just that - people. On a lot of other platforms, like reddit or twitter, the people you interact with don't really feel like actual people. Maybe it's because of how fedi works, where there are smaller communites that can all connect with each other, that makes the connections you make with other people so genuine. I don't think I would ever have considered people I met on the internet "friends" until I joined fedi. And now, some of the people I've met are some of my closest friends.
