Don’t mourn, organise!
I love how chill and helpful everyone is here.
I was always wary about reddit being a non-opensource/non-federated platform. But the communities there were incredible. I remember when it really was like the ‘front page of the internet’. But I could not believe the user unfriendly decisions they made, and the app ban was the death-knell.
Besides, Lemmy is awesome! Not much need to go back.
I’m enjoying Bluesky too, but yeah, reddit sucks so much since the API changes. When was that?
I don’t even remember anymore.
Look, we debated all this a decade ago. Can venture funded social media stay good? Now we know! Back then, the alternatives were more difficult to find and use. Lemmy and mastodon are here, and they’re so easy. It’s great. Keep building.
