This. I came after seeing a post about lemmy on reddit, but at it's core my move was less about reddit specifically and more about wanting to escape algorithms generally.

Edit to add: I also want to see places outside my comfort zone. How am I meant to learn and grow, if my beliefs are never challenged?

    Yeah - the whole thing about the internet for me at the turn of the last century was to discover cool and interesting new stuff, to see things from other perspectives and learn… then one year September didn’t end / became eternal and a generation later here we are. Surfers drowning in algorithms and adverts.

    The longest month
