The bitching IS important. The more people can be convinced to join this community and the more people leave reddit, the more likely that reddit will get to be a StumbleUpon or Digg. It would be an amazing feat that would show the power of community!
In my opinion we need to make a distinction between social networks and aggregators with forum-like experiences. Reddit is easily replaceable because sharing links is like the easiest thing to do. I started using lemmy and not planning on using reddit again. So far i have abandoned all major social media. Only use whatsapp. The internet is rotten right now, however there are so many amazing things that are not social media that we are yet to discover and for those looking for information not people, the internet still has a lot to open. Social media is a cesspool.
Embrace chaos. That’s what social networks want us to do. Become their data so they can use us to become their corporate power. This federation system is really good, decentralized flexible. I love it. Keep it open source. They fuck with us, we go elsewhere. I for one dont care for reddit anymore
Good. The sooner we do away with all the Russian scum the better
