I had a more hate than love relationship with Reddit over the last decade. Quit and rejoined twice. I viewed it as a necessary evil so I could keep up with some smaller tech subreddits.
So I was more than happy to delete my account for good after the events of the last month. Looking forward to being here.
The nexus poster on Twitter are often technically inept (journos, real life famous people, etc.). Therefore I understand the migration to Mastodon and such going slowly. But I have high hopes for the likes of federated Reddit-alternatives, since Reddit’s audience is a much more technical crowd. The only fear I have is the FOSS community’s infamous infighting over non-issues. As long as things like Lemmy or kbin are federating, this is probably a non-issue, but as soon as two or more of the major players get hung up on something irrelevant and cannot reconcile, the party is over as soon as it began.
