Haha you're preaching to the choir, the idea of federation has taken over my thinking a little bit. It's like those people who want to put everything on the blockchain, except I want to federate every hierarchical structure that exists 😅

I never even moderated anything before Lemmy, but it really hasn't been that bad. It helps so much to have other good users/mods to lean on, and to have faith that the platform is steadily getting better with time.

It’s way less bullshit than reddit was, and I’d rather be shit on by principled leftists anyway.

I won't lie, I did get a bit down after the hexbear federation saga, but I feel like I'm starting to get my mojo back. When I see other users and developers building things like fediseer, it renews my motivation and refreshes my attitude. Infectious positivity, what a concept!
