    Met my wife on a little internet forum called 9chat. Right before it disappeared.

    These little spaces on the internet were quite nice to be. Always seeing the same people. It has a different feeling.

    Decentralising social media will have its positives. When one tries to control public opinion, people can flee to another one for example.

      That’s why we have to make sure the Fediverse is the future!

        It’s been 1 week since I found out about Lemmy, liking it quite a bit.

        I wonder, is there an area on this social media that are extremist pro free speech?

        Such as, okay you’re being a total shithead, I still won’t ban you.

        I’m just curious if spaces such as that even exist, and if they do, what they lead to.

            I can imagine that spamming/constant harassment/advertising/etc can ruin a space. Especially when it can be automated.

            Perhaps it would be better with temp bans and that moderation is automated in order to prevent bias.

            Corpo social media has the no mod feeling. They only really moderate to avoid lawsuits and things like harassment are rampant

          You could simply start your own instance. Nobody can delete your content or ban you there. But get ready to get defederated from other instances.
