  • Hey, I’m still in my 20s… for another 3 weeks. Also, Software Engineer for over 10 years…

    For me, I really miss the old school internet forms where it was all just people nerding out about the same stuff and providing useful information because they cared about the interest and the community.

    Reddit used to be like that but now it’s like any other social media platform.

    Everything is becoming algorithm driven endless scrolling packed with ads and promoted content with very little focus on the community and actual information. It is just an app you use when you want to turn off your brain.

    I’m brand new to lemmy and stuff like it but I’m hoping to find something closer to the classic internet. Not sure if that’s what I’ll find here but reddit sure isn’t that any more, and hasn’t been for a while
