I know in my heart that it probably won’t last, but I have such an awesome feeling of a clean slate with Lemmy. It feels so much more like the old internet before it just became a shopping cart. I don’t know how long we can enjoy this brave new world, but I am here for it.
The good news is that if any one instance goes a heavy monitization route, you can always just swap to another smaller instance!
Man I love that too.
Although I’m okay with that, doing so means beginning from scratch again, correct? All your content will be contained to the previous instance.
Yea, it will, but I don’t think Lemmy puts as much emphasis on account karma as Reddit.
Well, I meant the discussions, uploaded content and all that. But this is me forgetting that leaving an instance does not equal a purge.
Yeah, I’m still trying to get used to the fediverse.
No worries, we are all in the same boat on that!

Depends on how instances decide to operate, really. I can still see content from Beehaw, just can’t interact with the users there or post myself without going through that instance.
So with that example, creating a new instance doesn’t mean all existing content has to be inaccessible.
