monopolisation of the init system

That’s the one thing about systemd that is sort of nice. We don’t really need to have more than one init system, and it does a sufficiently comprehensive job of being one. If it were only an init system and nothing else, there basically wouldn’t be any remaining complaints about it by now.

Ah, I see. I was only around the past few years but over that much time it has changed a lot for sure. There’s more of everything. If you preferred the old-school fedi experience though it seems like lemmy is the wrong place to look, as it’s designed to be something else. As is mastodon for that matter. There still exist quiet corners where people do things more in keeping with the old ways. The ones where I started have since disappeared but hopefully some will hang together.

You mean c/fediverse? Or lemmy.ml? Or all of lemmy? Or all of the fediverse? Or the whole world?

Fedi is all about different communities coexisting, sometimes uneasily, alongside each other. Lemmy doesn’t need to have only one monolithic community identity. I hope it grows in scope and diversity until everyone can find one that suits them.

the most toxic Redditors migrated over

Nah, the most toxic redditors will never leave reddit. Their souls will be consumed in agony as it collapses into a fiery little black hole of hate. The ones who made it over here can’t be all bad no matter how stupid some of them appear at first glance.
