  1. Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
  2. Support the hosts with our own funds.
  3. Moderate our own communities.

The second point is the most important. Reddit happened because they are a corporate entity seeking profit. Let's own our social media platforms by actively contributing funds to them.

  1. Discourage people from using karma. You actually can turn off scores in your settings.

  2. If any instance decides to put advertising on itself, leave immediately and get everyone else to do the same.

Just out of curiosity, what is your argument against using karma?
