<p>One thing I’m really appreciating about Mastodon is that it doesn’t make me anxious. Since there’s no algorithm that penalises me if I don’t post for two consecutive days, I feel much more relaxed and enjoy the experience more.

<p>In the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>, most software is built around a specific platform model.

<p>🐭 Real question:</p><p>Sometimes I read negative comments about <a href="/tags/lemmy/" rel="tag">#Lemmy</a> or even calls to defederate...</p><p>Why do some people on the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> feel so strongly about Lemmy?</p><p>Isn&#x27;t an <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#opensource</a> alternative to <a href="/tags/reddit/" rel="tag">#Reddit</a> a good thing?</p>
