I just joined Lemmy and so far I’m enjoying it. It’s a little bit sparse in terms of content and users, but I think it has a really cool structure, and it feels more human than certain other social media sites.
I’m curious to know what users think about who is welcome here. Do you think it should be gates open, everyone including your aunt should join, or is it more exclusive to people interested in the fediverse as a starting point? Or something else?
Not trying to stir up shit, just genuinely curious about what the vibe is and where the community thinks it is or should be going.

This is the future of social media and you are a part of it. Currently there are only a few people but later on everyone will catch up and this will have most of the population on it.
But because of the federal nature it will be cluttered overwhelming or difficult to manage like other centralised social media.
The biggest advantage is neither the corporate nor the governments or dictatorships can censor content here. Only the community can decide what’s best for them.
The future is federated, decentralised and anonymised and open to everyone.
Eventually people are gonna get tired of the toxicity of mainstream social media.
Eventually all of the internet is going to be decentralised and free from control again as it was meant to be.
