I’ve enjoyed my time on the fediverse but have been disappointed with the leveling off of growth and lack of participation in niche communities. I still visit Kbin several times weekly, but it isn’t like the old days when I would spend tons of time on Reddit. I have left my old Reddit account redacted and haven’t started using it again, as that time is over. There are some communities and niche interests that unfortunately, it looks like Reddit will always be the main home for since we didn’t hit the critical mass for people to move those communities over here. Because of that, I’ve started a new reddit account (with my real name attached, and started actively participating in those communities). For me, Reddit is no longer a place to anonymously participate in community discussions (because those discussions were becoming increasingly worthless alot of the time), but a place to participate with my IRL identity in communities related to topics or hobbies I care about. The anonymous community stuff is fulfilled by Kbin/Fediverse which I prefer now.

They are “inviting” mods to do even more free work in furtherance of Reddits profitability

I agree with this unpopular (around here anyway) opinion. People should do what they want to do and post/read where they want to, but I have 100% stopped using Reddit (after 12 years of Reddit - > Old Reddit - > Alien Blue - > Apollo. Overwrote comments and will delete the account once I’m sure no reversion of overwritten comments is taking place. Reddit’s gotta go, man. Even Twitter has a place in the world now, but I can’t forgive Reddit, it’s just gross.

As humans we are biased towards action and forward thinking. From the perspective of where you are heading after completing the turn, it was a U shaped turn

The difference now is that Gab exists and those people have been going over there for a few years now. As long as the fediverse doesn’t become an echo chamber like Reddit I’ll stay happy.

Several of the big subs have switched to a malicious compliance though where they’ve reopened but are nothing like their normal content. It’s not actually against the rules, and seems kind of clever unless I’m missing something?

Favorite thing I’ve read all day aside from Father’s Day cards from my daughters.

@Curtains it definitely wasn’t easy to do. Agree kind of sad, but ousting mods was another red line I felt the crossing of warranted a response. I hope more people keep this up, but also when they are done, fill the hole in their entertainment, education/educating etc time on the Fediverse with us.

Cheers, 🍻

There is something going on though, as posts show more comments than I’m seeing loading in Apollo, and also new posts/threads are locked for comments. Dissenting mods in the team who have yet to be removed?

Moving to the new, better online community and leaving Reddit to become what it becomes now is winning, in my opinion.

“I think the fun part of reddit is over.” Upvoted until I saw this, and had to comment to say you are absolutely right. Reddit will live on for now but the fun times feel over.
