The Ubuntu Reddit appeared to be very intimidated about the actions Reddit did bit back https://safereddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/14lo9pa/reddit_is_forcing_us_to_reopen_rubuntu_is_open/
But they still didn’t create / promote their new home in any way? Or where are they hiding in Fediverse? Thank you.
Most answers on reddit come from the Ubuntu forums to be honest.
What’s your goal for a Reddit type safe haven?
No goal. But many Linux distros can be found on Reddit alts such as Lemmy.world or Kbin but not Ubuntu. For a while it looked like there could be a bigger exodus from Reddit to free’er alternatives.
There’s not enough userbase to literally split them for every single distro. Remember even with “a bigger exodus” than what we got, reddit’s userbase is still hundreds of times larger than ours.
Lemmy’s numbers have gone downwards and stabilized. Currently one of the more popular moderation actions has been to shutter the incredible excess abundance of communities and consolidate on main communities.
/c/linux is good enough for most news discussions, and I would argue that places like /c/linuxgaming are better resources to troubleshoot your system based on purpose rather than just on distro.
