Yep… Bought Sync and Apollo long ago. Moved to Lemmy today. Slowly moving all of my main socials to decentralized/federated platforms because the greedy corpos breaking their own shit.
Same. But I wish it was more straightforward. I’m not convinced the average/occasional user will transition to decentralized platforms if it’s a pain to do so.
Lemmy is easier to get set up for us folks who aren’t as technical as we used to be. The biggest hurdle for me is for social networks like Twitter or IG where I know people irl who won’t be moving to mastodon probably ever. On Reddit I never made a single friend during the almost 15 years I had an active account.
I didn't make friends but there were regulars I'd see around, its the smaller communities that feel the best.
Agreed. Those are the ones I’ll miss.
