I only read the first in the series (though I’ve heard the whole series is great), but I was really surprised by how much I liked All Systems Red. Really entertaining quick read.

I feel like it’s a whole new world of social media for me. I’ve found myself joining smaller communities across the Lemmyverse and in Discord, and it feels more engaging and less toxic. I’ve even picked up Tik Tok after years of Redditors telling me it’s the plague, and I’ve found that it has more welcoming niche communities (like Booktok, Writertok, Tears of the Kingdom) than Reddit ever had.
TBH, the thing I disliked most about Reddit ended up being the community. It was nice having little niche communities, but wisps of inceldom, hivemind, and that general air of arrogance permeated the entire site. Killing the apps that made the site tolerable to use (Apollo, in my case) was just the last straw. I already used a plugin that deleted all of my posted content from the past 5 years, so I’m officially out, and it’s kind of a relief. I’ll stick to Discord interest servers and small communities like this one from now on.
