I came to Lemmy 3 years ago, during the reddit API cutoff exodus.

I love the Fediverse! It is full of kind, interesting, thoughtful, and open-minded people. It doesn't have every possible community, but there are other corners of the Internet for that.

I'm on Mastodon and fedinsfw (formerly lemmynsfw) but this is my primary Fediverse instance and account. I love it here for the brilliant, accountable, and transparent admin; the quality posters; the thoughtful commenters; those who step up to invigorate a sleepy community; those who try to broker peace between squabbling commenters; those who upvote quality posts and report ones that break the rules - we all contribute to make this community so great! (I know many regulars by screen name, but don't want to risk omitting anyone by naming names. :)

In celebration of 3 good years here, I made a donation with the hope we will keep this fabulous instance and community going!

It's okay too if it remains small and is our little secret park from the chaos of the world.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have our cake and eat it too, like some Fediverse platforms could be big, some small? Like, I'm all for lemmy.ca cozy as it is, but golly it'd be nice to get such a large swath of people off xitter (meta, etc) and onto healthier alternatives, like an actually decentralized and non VC-backed bluesky (used as an example bc it caused a little exodus)
