  • One of the things I greatly disliked about reddit was the hivemind that formed a couple years after it launched, which has only gotten worse as time passed. Anywhere posts and comments are driven by upvote or engagement algorithms is going to create an echo chamber, but I was curious to see if the decentralized aspect of this place might tone that down a bit. It’s hard to tell right now because my feed is filled with some of the most indignant, extremist people from other platforms who are here as a form of protest.

    Feature-wise, this place is functional and not too hard to navigate, but finding and subscribing to communities was pretty confusing and it’s lacking a lot of QoL stuff that reddit has. I don’t expect it to be a 1:1 clone but I sure would like notifications when someone responds to one of my posts. Or maybe the notifications just aren’t working properly for me? I dunno.
