I will not install their app. Period.
I hope it ends up pushing more people here!
đŸ‘‹ hello it’s me
More people
Welcome!! :)
At the same time, I'm worried the community will worsen. I feel this is the only place left that feels like old internet.
It will get different, of course, with more people. But it won't suffer the worst curse of Reddit and Digg: unaccountable, fascist corporate admins. If the admins hadn't become politically captured ban-happy assholes, I'd still be there.
I hope not. New fear!
I think that people leaving Reddit will go to Bluesky, Instagram and Discord…
Like anywhere but on the fedi.
To be fair, I didn't know anything about the fediverse until I got banned from Reddit. I had tried all the other platforms you listed but none had the interactions the same as Reddit. Too bad we can't get more publicity somehow.
I deleted it a long time ago
