Curious, if you were/are a Reddit user, will you be leaving the platform for good or have you already? CEO has called unpaid moderators' concerns "noise", that will be "passing soon." (kbin.social)

There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would.

This was a few days back, but I think it's important to bring up for the moment. This is just completely convincing me that those running Reddit are entirely out of touch with their moderators and the well-being of their users. Does this make you want to leave or just rub you the wrong way? Have you already left for good or are you still open to using the platform now that more subreddits are reopening?

I've personally deleted the Reddit related apps off my phone and replaced them with the webapp for Kbin for now by adding the site to my home screen, until an app is developed and released.

There are subreddits that that my girlfriend and I commiserate over, so I'm not totally pulling the plug yet. But I'm all aboard the digital anarchism train and here for the Fediverse.

I've been using Mastodon for a year now. PixelFed for nearly as long. I have a self-hosted Calckey site. If I made videos I'd absolutely post them to PeerTube.

This is what the internet was supposed to be, before it got captured by corporate interests. It's time for it to come back to itself.

Well put, regarding the capture by corporate interests and the return. I couldn't really put my finger on why I had been feeling like the fediverse is as exciting and interesting as the early internet I experienced growing up, but I think that is at least a large part of why that is.
