Nothing important here. I just want to see how many people are moving away from Reddit.

    I was way ahead of most people moving away from Reddit. Spent about two years there, but left after being unjustly censored, limited and manipulated by the Reddit mods. Their actions, decisions and influence are often nothing more than personal vendettas. Haven’t logged in there for a couple years now and haven’t missed it at all.
    Are we actually surprised though? It’s just another monolithic corporate data leech that abuses member’s trust and privacy.
    The CEO isn’t actually worried about the blackouts. He thinks they’ll weather the boycotts easily. He thinks most people will come back. It’s my hope that it dies, crashes and burns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL0yFvkLMQc

    As we move into Web3 I hope people wise up and take control of their own personal data and NOT hand control back over to these contemptible and detestable corporate sites. Don’t fall for crap like the Metaverse - It’s still a corporate attempt at conveniently taking control of your Web3 identity.

      manipulated by the Reddit mods

      If the moderation was your primary concern, what makes you think it’ll be different on other platforms?

      Fediverse has instance admins and community moderators too.

      As for web3, I’m skeptical and critical of multiple aspects of web3. Doesn’t help that the first link is all buzzwords and nice theory. The second one at least draws a more practical description, but also fails to list downsides and risks.

      I’ll link this somewhat satirical site I remember that is critical of web3, listing issues occurring with web3 https://web3isgoinggreat.com/
