Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

That's how I feel right now. I don't need the Fediverse to replace reddit and Twitter, I want it to be a refuge from the commercialized crap! The people who can't be bothered to figure out Lemmy or Mastodon can stay right where they are!

But people using those platforms is not good for our society. Of course if they cared about freedom a little bit of extra difficulty wouldn't really bother them. But the goal should be to make the switch as easy as possible.
