Ultimately I might have to sorta "go back" if only to post to remind people that I'm also (more) available elsewhere.
Reddit is being shelled with astroturfers right now, they're really desperate. That's why I just made my account and a new subcommunity for tulpamancers. If they start forcing subs online, it's all over for them.
Who am I kidding? I'm typing this on another site that isn't reddit, they're proper fucked.
Just as I expected and actually hoped for. Now they had to tip their hand and show themselves to everyone what kind of totalitarian assholes they really are. Meanwhile the fediverse is likely to hit one million users by the end of the week. So yeah, the second the media starts reporting on this in detail and it floods everyone's newsfeeds, it's game over for Reddit.

I am hoping that a community without advertising can be created. It would be a community where users PAY a monthly fee... as content creators should be rewarded for their contributions and MUST receive a fair share for their contributions. It would also have an open API so that tinkerers (and most of all, disabled people) can interact with the site in an accessible way.
I think its the perfect community, but how can we create it???
Nothing of value was added by the megausers that were all over the front page.
The value was added in community discussion and the aggregation of knowledge from random people who had value information and knowledge to share on certain subjects.
I'm going to try to take some time away from the internet. Might return to make content (mostly tabletop gaming stuff) sometime in the future. But for now I'm over it.
