agreed. as others have stated. Transparency. But also, new software, new tech (in a way, the fediverse/activity pub), and hopefully a new beginning. Happy to be here. If not technically on the ground level (lemmy has been around for a short time before we knew reddit was going to implode), close to it!
I’m no fan of a lot of what isreal does but yes, sabbath and Manamakahn seem to be both middle eastern and pushing their articles hard around here.
