From purely practical point of view, what is the selling point of Lemmy for the average user who does not care about the theoretical benefits of software or the open source software movement?

Assumptions:

  • The average user will never host a instance.
  • The average user is not interested in volunteering or moderation.
  • The average user is not looking for NSFW communities or any controversial communities.

    Different people to talk to, it’s much smaller and generally has a different atmosphere. And what you said. NSFW is handled differently, it doesn’t annoy you until you’ve signed up and downloaded their official app… And replaces all of that with different dynamics. I suppose as long as you’re living the “normal” life, you oftentimes can’t tell if you’re inside of a golden cage or in a democratic place.
