    Basically yes. The alternatives passively become better simply because of the mainstream option becoming worse over time. I think it’s still going too slowly in general but I’m not complaining, better slow than not at all.

      Better slow than too fast too. Lemmy feels like a nice fairly small community. I’m not sure that’ll continue once it’s the size of Reddit. We’ll get more content and niche communities will be better served though, so there’s pros and cons.

        Once you hit a certain size you become a tempting target for bots, spammers and trolls. Managing that is going to be a challenge.

        That’s benefit of being built out of local communities!

        There’s instances where users only interact with each other and not the larger Fediverse/lemmyverse.

      Linux isn’t just getting better in comparison because Windows got worse.
      Linux is so much better now than just 10 years ago, it’s absolutely incredible.
