    How are y’all spreading yourself out in the fediverse so far? Right now I’m just browsing the front page of kbin and occasionally check in on my feed in mastodon, but I’m yet to find my “niche” communities.

      Today was the first day I opened kbin and it felt like… not home, per se, but… familiar? I suddenly realized I’m genuinely enjoying this new spot!

        Well this ernest dude seems like he’s reacting quickly to criticisms. The NSFW posts were showing full pictures and there was a complaint to have the preview blurred out. Took less than 12 hours for him to implement that so that’s a plus

    If this is how the admins choose to act, so fucking be it. I’ll deltree my 12 year old account and never go back. As it stands, the fediverse is already my new home, and the users who decide to remain on reddit can explain to all the new users what the fuck went wrong.

      The only people on reddit who are against the blackout are conservative assholes who hate picket lines. They’re going to be the majority of remaining users.

        Nah I’m “conservative” (at least that’s what they call me on Reddit now), and most of us support this blackout. The site has been hostile to diverse political opinions for a long time. Note how one of the largest subs, r/Politics, remained open the whole time. They are, by every metric, very left wing.

        Don’t let the silly culture war divide us on this one. We all think Reddit has jumped the shark.

          You only think /politics is left wing because they banned all the left wingers.

          Also, liberals aren’t left wingers. Have you ever heard an anarchist or a socialist talk about a liberal?

          What they did to The_Donald where Spez edited comments to make the sub seem to be inciting violence, so he had an excuse to ban it, is a prime example and should be a red flag regardless of someone’s politics.

          The banning from several subs automatically of people who joined joke subs like “ChurchofCovid” is also a prime example.

          Very hostile to differing political opinions.

          I don’t think it’s a social media site any more, I think it’s a propaganda site and a data harvesting operation.

            Not what happened. Spez, fuckwit though he is, actually managed to do a halfway decent trolling there.

            A bunch of t_d people were slagging him off and insulting him in their comments. Spez got drunk as shit one night and edited their comments, swapping his name with Trump’s so that it made them look like a bunch of anti-trumpers. Much gnashing of teeth ensued.

            Absolutely shouldn’t have done it, especially as CEO of Reddit FFS, but definitely funny as shit.

            Don’t get me wrong, it’s absolutely a mark against him, but he didn’t get them banned. They thouroughly got themselves banned on their own.

            I agree, but I also think that most social media has been propaganda and data harvesting all the way down from day one.

            Like, the internet was not made by accident, or for no reason. It was developed at public universities with military funding.
