For me dating got real easy when I took sex, and romance out of it.

Probably, but idk the guy. I just know his as seen on Tv persona.

I Gota downvote this idea. Karma was my least favorite part about Reddit

Ultimately I see corporations owning all the most popular servers, and attempting to federate with everyone else.

Technically yes, but I spend 0 time on Reddit soooo.

Wasn’t that the time Spez got caught editing comments from users?

I moved here from Reddit my I have 3 boxes to check off before I can commit to a home for social media. A community that rivals Reddit which is tough to do. They are some of the snarkiest bastards alive, decentralized of which Lenny gets kinda right, but ultimately someone owns this server, and that’s pretty centralized, and open source to avoid social media for profit. I haven’t found one out probably 69, or so that I’ve tried. If someone were to check all those boxes they’d eventually blow the top off of social media.

This is pretty accurate. I was one of those that left Reddit, and started the search for something else. I went through sooo many different options, and landed here for now. I spent a large amount of time looking a Nostr clients. They could be a good option in like a couple of years. Some of those projects have good teams working on things, but they’re all just so new man. The sad part is the projects with the forsite to focus on diversified content have little funding, or terrible developers. Alternatively the project that are clean, and crisp are all Twitter clones parroting bitcoin 24/7, and acting like if they keep talking about it non stop everyone will magically come around to freedom money lol. For what it’s worth Lemmy has had some of the best diversity of content thus far, but it is not without concern for me. So I’m here for now anyways, and if things go well I’ll be here tomorrow too.

Eh it’s that, or the constant droning of zaps from Nostr clients. Take your pic I guess, but those are the choices if you’re looking for something decentralized atm.
