The fediverse is one of the few surviving parts of the internet I used to love (quokk.au)

The relief when I open up Lemmy or Mastodon. It feels like coming home to an experience I didn't realise I was missing. Lemmy has grown enough now that I can look at my feed throughout the day and there will be interesting posts, all with engaging comments and conversations. It's like the internet I grew up on, only better: it's ran by the people, for the people.

Obviously, that doesn't mean the fedi isn't plagued with issues. But it feels fundamentally more culturally healthy than whatever the fuck is going on in big corpo social media.

Groupthink here does sometimes hit reddit narwhal beckons levels sometimes, still much better than the modern internet elsewhere

Some cases of group think, even mob mentality at times, are a culture of the instance/instances of those involved. So if the user spots something in that line, blocking either the instance, or at least the users if instance blocking isn't available, can do wonders.

The lack of global karma makes me care a lot less about that, though. Let 'em be mad. If a joke falls flat or the sarcasm wasn't obvious, then I can just move on.
