Maybe try Squabbles, it sounds more like what you're after. It's chill, mostly memes and nice vibes, but it's a bit too nice for me.
aaaaaand a for-profit focused developer. It's going to introduce ads and a Twitter blue-like subscription model. Don't join this.
It might be what they want though, a lot of people don't care about federation and ads. I'm not one of those people but if they just want pics of dogs, memes and to talk about their day it's more appropriate than lemmy.
It's simple. I'm just against capitalistic corporations taking over our information again. And of course Ads = annoyance/spyware and for-profit = a likely enshittification in the near future.
I agree with you :) But, and I mean this in the kindest way to OP, maybe lemmy doesn't need the casual late joiners of reddit who don't care about those things?
Yeah, I agree that nearly everybody doesn't care about the backend but I still believe everybody can learn from the shitty decisions that for-profits make. It's horrible.
