It’s fucking annoying. The amount of times I turned off autoplay and sound in my settings only to have it blasted in my face. It just makes me not want to use Facebook, it’s become like a whiney annoying baby whenever I go on it.
We need a new MySpace/Facebook esque platform that isn’t corporate, I highly doubt we will get that, and even if their was an option, most people wouldn’t even migrate.
I was here early June when there was very little activity. I didn’t really understand the fediverse, and how instances worked. I remember thinking “this has so much potential!” The average instance had about 4000 users. And now it’s exploding. I know many people are going to continue to use Reddit, there’s still more users on Reddit then there are on here, there probably always will.
I feel the users that end up on here are smart, informed, fed up, we see past the lies, we are mature and chill as fuck.
The fact Lemmy takes time to learn is a good thing.
