Crack on Reddit I’m Done Anyways.

I was mainly a lurker on reddit with only occasional posting. But I’m done with it anyway now. Always felt a little uneasy as it was like the last social media ‘product’ i consumed after purging all other mainstream ones.

This latest drama has just shown the company management of a single website is making changes in view of its own profits. I thought i was a user but maybe I’m a customer. But have no interest in that. I’m free now.

Think I’ll float about the fediverse for a while. This is 1st post so might not actually work ha

    He’s not wrong. Reddit will survive, it might just be a bit different. But that’s what they want anyway. They want to be the next Instagram or WhatsApp - locked down to the max. The people that are left don’t care about openness or 3rd party apps.

      Yep, I’ve been looking for an alternative to all the tiresome karma whoring, my own included, for ages but every one, like voat, was ran by some right wing nutjob

      I’m liking this fediverse thing

        The big fediverse advantage, is that nobody is stopping people setting up a platform.
        The restriction on people being really shitty, is by other sites not federating with them. Which I think is really smart. The truly horrible places can exist, but they’re self-restricted to only places that are willing to endorse their crap.
