The amount of dark subreddits is wild. I'm pessimistic that this will create any meaningful change on the platform, but really hoping either way that alternatives not backed by corporations will grow and compete.
If nothing else its forced people to consider the need for an alternative and to open their eyes to places like Tilde/Lemmy/Kbin/etc. It may not be much now, but over time if reddit continues it's shitty behaviour and people now know these alternatives exist, more and more people can move over.
What's Tilde? Tried looking it up but all that comes up is a software firm and a translator app.
Tilde is a Reddit wannabe. It's the same kind of centralized, monolithic site that Reddit is, but its management hasn't gone full asshole (yet.)
Then it's useless. We need Fediverse alternatives not to keep jumping between proprietary monoliths that will be enshittified once people are lured in
That is why having several instances is useful, if we dont like one we can change to another one
Tildes is a Reddit like site, I have not used it enough to tell you more, but here is the address. https://tildes.net/
If nothing else it's been very entertaining.
At the very least it's a big fuck you to spez.
Plenty of those lol, Spez is a fucking jackass.
It's at least something... If the userbase and Mods protests against the platform practice it must be a very frustrating thing.
Reddit's CEO seems to be hardcore about it, still. Little Musk as I call him ;P
Agreed, itβs unlikely that anything will change with the current management. Just sucks in general
