      Though it’s probably technically social media, it’s very different from everything else at the moment (other than perhaps reddit).

      I feel this is much more like an old forum. It’s pretty anonymous, you subscribe to things you like and want to hear more about. Comment if you like, lurk otherwise. Nobody’s interleaving my subscribed posts with “suggested” posts and adverts. Mainly, it’s small and probably almost nobody I know in real life uses it.

      There’s currently no big corporate users, far-right news channels, “influencers” etc, just nice, safe “Cats, Dad Jokes, Star Trek Memes, Linux News”.
