A desire for a fresh start most of all.
To be more open and friendly with others and to have some interaction. Not to be like the lurker I used to be :)
The whole reddit exodus was a good reason to follow through on it.

Also, lemmy has the potential to be the better platform, period. Federation is a fresh start for the entire concept of social media services
Federation comes with some drawbacks, but the upsides mean that the type of bullshit that mainstream social media has started doing can be fought back for real.
That’s the horse I want to bet on, even if it’s not in a competitive position right now.
