At the beginning of the blackout, I thought if spez changes his mind I would go back, but while I haven’t severed all ties, I feel reddit growing increasingly distant to me now. I have long felt that it’s not great when one profit-driven entity takes over an entire category of social media, and I’ve found some kindred spirits here.

In the Fediverse, I feel I’ve discovered a new continent with a strangely medieval society, and to my surprise, it’s been winning me over despite the feudal bickering.

I haven’t severed ties completely but have unsubscribed from almost everything but a few fringe subreddits that haven’t developed communities here yet. And I joined /r/redditalternatives and /r/modcoord during the blackout.
