it doesn't have to be linux specifically; lemmy was created as a safe space at intersection of open source technology; leftist politics; and genz style shitposting, if your interests align with any of those, then lemmy is purpose built for you.
and corporations copying each other is the reason why lemmy has become my primary platform. i've been moving from one social media platform onto another each time each platform enshitified because of corporate policies since the days of icq and bbs. my experience teaches me that anything centralized enough or with sufficient financial backing will likewise enshitify eventually, like reddit did, so i stay away from things like bluesky or mastodon.
