Setting aside Big Tech and surveillance capitalism for a minute — I wonder if fediverse microblogging apps like Mastodon aren’t fairly antisocial and inclined to individualism, while apps like Lemmy are more community and artefact/stuff-to-share centric.

People are complex, societies infinitely more so, but software can nudge us this way or that way too.

I’d be interested to hear what others here think.

    Is Lemmy inherently more “social” and Mastodon more “individual” media?

    In my experience on Lemmy over the past few years, compared to many years more on diaspora or mastodon, yes.
