Many Lemmy communities are currently at an acceptable point for a decent amount of user interaction. This is what has made me switch, and even though I knew federated socials for an option for years I didn’t really feel like it was worth switching until now. Clearly, thousands of other people agree with me, and I think this trend will continue for the more techy and aware people in these communities. I’m definitely good with just having those people in these communities, but at the same time I really don’t want the internet to get even worse for your average Joe, which currently… it still is.
