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.

    Honestly there’s no reason to not use both if you wish. Just like Lemmy instances, you don’t have to choose a single one to base your entire online time around you can have accounts everywhere and enjoy it all.

    I will say though there has been a noticeable difference in the discussion quality on Lemmy. I don’t get this vibe that everybody is attacking me and looking for opportunities to shit on me when posting on here, which is hella refreshing at least.

        Yeeeh. Reddit is unusable on mobile, and I only use it on my computer to look up old tips for like… dark souls.

        Wefwef is stellar.
