Over the last week or so I have noticed that I have a lot more fun engaging in discussions on here as opposed to reddit.
On reddit i always felt like i was shouting into the void and there was nobody listening, which resulted in me becoming a lurker for the last 12 years.
Maybe it’s the small size of this community, the lack of karma farmers, that I’ve finally lost my mind or a little bit of all of the above, but this place just feels like something special. I’m really looking forward to building the fediverse with all of you!
This is the exact reason why communism and anarchy would work. People love to do stuff when things are fair.
When you feel like you are just helping some rich person get more data on you, and you’re being exploited you shut down.
When you are working towards something with other people and you all benefit from it you can do things that would normally be considered work and enjoy them!
