  • it doesn’t have to be linux specifically; lemmy was created as a safe space at intersection of open source technology; leftist politics; and genz style shitposting, if your interests align with any of those, then lemmy is purpose built for you.

    and corporations copying each other is the reason why lemmy has become my primary platform. i’ve been moving from one social media platform onto another each time each platform enshitified because of corporate policies since the days of icq and bbs. my experience teaches me that anything centralized enough or with sufficient financial backing will likewise enshitify eventually, like reddit did, so i stay away from things like bluesky or mastodon.


  • the way i describe lemmy to people who aren’t already familiar: it’s like r/linux, r/socialism, r/communism, r/anarchy, and r/shitposting got together to make their own reddit and then the rest of reddit starting joining in during the api protests and now they outnumber the original communists, socialists, anarchists, etc. users by a lot; hence the comment you responded to.

    it works great for me because i was in all of those subs and i also left reddit during the blackout protests like 75% of all the people on lemmy did, so you’re in familiar company; you’re technically not on reddit, but you might as well be if you’re part of the right communities.

    in your shoes i would definitely pose these thoughts to my therapist.

    i don’t have bpd, but i’m on the spectrum like you (autism) and i sometimes see lemming share their own experiences on the nuero-divergent communites scattered throughout lemmy like the neurodiverse and autism communities.

    communities like that are where i would go if i were looking for engagement on lemmy regarding bpd.

    democrats are politically center-right for in the entire western world, so it’s not at all a stretch to be conservative, religious, and democrat all at the same time.

    the way i’ve politically sparred with them on lemmy proves to me that this is what most of the people of .world and .ee are like; status-quo americans.
