I know my friend, I used to browse 4chan for years too since I was a teenager actually, I don’t remember what made me leave it but I know that I didn’t realize after later how hateful that site made me and how my view of the world was influenced by their echo chamber. I know it is a fun site but I realized it is not worth it, at least for me.
Well, you are here now at least, by the very definition of how lemmy works, you shouldn’t have this problem here unless you are really uncivil and still you can always change the instance. There is a lack of users and content comparing to any of the platforms you mentioned since this is a relatively new one but you are helping growing it too :)
Chat control, Sweden with Signal, now this BS. What the hell EU? Nobody believes that this crap is to protect children or now to “catch narcos”. I really wonder what is this about. In the spanish Constitution we have an article that is supposed to protect us from this, and still they were one of the countries pushing the chat control to happen.
