For anyone confused. Funbun is my new account. Figure id take others advice and let go of the internet identity I've held on to the last 20 years. My first post on lemmy was about this reddit post. With the death of the traditional internet and rise of open source federation it seems like a good time.

RIP rtardbunny, hello funbun.

When private equity and billionairs have enough money to buy up entire social platforms, newspapers, and news stations, and political races... its no longer about community consensus or discussion. Its just pure corporate propaganda.

When sites no longer allow you to speak out against political figures, companies, or conflicts then its time to leave. They are no longer moderating a subreddit. They are moderation information as a whole. They get to pick n choose what you're allowed to rally around and rally against. Sites like lemmy are the next step to a free and fair internet.

Corporate has stolen our internet and our money. Its time to take it back. Federated and open source is the way we do it. Dont let the money tell us what we are allowed to talk about.

Oh there are so many more and worse comments lol. People cant be bothered to read these days or seek out information. If you dont feed them everything the need to know in 6 setences or less than its too confusing and unusable. Took me 30 minutes to figure out and get started.. Still learning the nitty gritty info.

And now im researching how to host an instance through third-party hosting services. But these people cant be bothered to even try it... 😆

I also deleted my advice on creating accounts on specific instances. Apologies i just got lemmy this week. You make a good point about protection the decentralized federation.

Thank you! I added your full response as an update to my main post. I hope thats okay! Its too much to keep up with all the comments. Theres already 300+. Figured better to catch new viewers of the post with better info.

Update**

User otter@lemmy.ca from the Lemmy community recommended i update my post and add the following links below to assist new users.

From otter@lemmy.ca:

Can you link these as you see fit, maybe instead of the infographic? They respond to some of the common 'criticisms'

Also I don't think recommending one instance is the way to go, even if it gets people to join. Causing centralization harms us in the long run.

Here is how we approached it


 

The comments point out some good ideas on improving the experience of lemmy for new users but I got so many comments that just didnt even want to give try it. I made an effort though. Ill keep trying to pull em in.
