    Mastodon was such a freeing experience I wanted to have the “Federated social media alternative” for other sites too.

    I try avoid any closed source software. When I found out that there was a FOSS alternative to reddit, Ieft reddit and joined here.

    PS. https://alternativeto.net/ is great tool for finding libre alternatives, even though the site itself is proprietary.

    Found out about kbin from a post saying the fgc community was setting up there. I liked it but wanted to use a mobile app so made an account here and I’m liking it too so far. I learned to like the mobile browser ui for kbin as well but now I feel like both platforms can have their own place.

    Started on mastodon - lemmy kicked off as a project, which had a lot of discussion at the time.
