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.
