1 year agoThis is exactly why I jumped ship, personally. I don’t care at all about 3PA and the monetization - matter of fact, I think it’s entirely fair for reddit to be trying to monetize given the scope of the site - but I loathe the new reddit UI and app and just… refuse to adapt. I’m the curmudgeonly old man with a stick here, proclaiming that it was better in the good old days when you might mistake the text editor for an IDE. This whole Fediverse thing is also just kind of neat - idk if it will stick around in its current form because monetization seems to be firmly in the “we’ll figure it out later” mode, but it’s near for now and has people’s attention.
This is honestly interesting to watch play out, because one of the neat things about federation is that it allows for effectively chains and knots of information - Beehaw is more censored/curated at the moment while Kbin is more connected than anything because it’s bridging Lemmy World and Beehaw.
