If I only wanted to look at pics of cats then Twitter or Instagram would do just as well. If Lemmy survives as a forum for vacuous fluff then it'll have to do so without me :-)

as near as I can tell the technology is great, but the people are horrible. Almost every interaction is unpleasant, and when I do get some interesting conversation going some troll reports me and an admin nukes my account. So I am not optimistic about the future.

I don't know if it's getting worse,

but the more I get to know it the less I'm motivated to be here.

I'm quite new to Lemmy and I have to say I like it less each time I log in.
