Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

  One of the things for me is over the last few years i have suppressed my inner geek, censored my voice and gone along with the common group areas. I have tended to read rather than be part of something. I am kinda techie always have been however I have slept walked into a hole that I need to get out of, and instead start contributing to real communities of interest. Spaces i love, spaces where people share my passion.

  I think the benefits of diversity the fediverse and infact the world we live in needs communicating. Convenience (or what i believed to be) has been a hell of a drug that I am waking up to and walking away from. And that means me getting involved in healthy internet spaces. Spaces that work me not me not the other way round. As a real life analogy, Supermarkets are great, but as i get older i am going back to farmers markets and boot sales, i like the experience, i find things i didn’t know i wanted.

    You should definitely start creating content and communities! It’s a lot of fun.

    I’m currently establishing a new Lemmy instance and it’s fun as hell. Especially since it’s a lot easier to build communities in this Reddit like format than in any other. I simply post content I see and want to share into the appropriate communities and discussions will naturally follow. This can also be original content of course.

      I have been considering it. Not sure what on. I love to craft, make reuse, there are a few here but i guess there could be space for more.

        Just start with something. The more that participate with good content, the better :)
