For sure. I’m enjoying it, but reddit’s downfall really depends on how many divest from it and can join us here. I think it’ll be fine because people are coming and there will be guides to help folks navigate, but only time will tell
there will be no “downfall” and i think that attitude will make things harder for a place like this to thrive
it needs to be kinda its own thing. we need more than one place for this type of shit. Reddit is fine honestly. they are a business (maybe a shitty one) but thats the game
it just sucks that there isint another option, so when people started jumping ship i joined em.
i just dont want one mega corp to own the data on the internet as much as i can help it (which admittedly is not much) so this seemed like a real easy way to try
Downfall was definitely the wrong word to use. I want this to be impactful and make Reddit change course, but that can only happen if enough people leave.
I think the best case scenario for a place like this one here is of people stop thinking about Reddit at all.
It’s kind of breaking up after a long relationship: as long as you’re still thinking about what your ex is doing right now, you’re not over the relationship.
I think this place will find its groove once people will have stopped comparing features, communities, apps, etc. to how things worked or looked like on Reddit, and once people will have completely stopped caring about whatever may or may not be going on over at Reddit.
ya i get it but i still think the better way to think about all this is that Reddit will probably not change anything, they probs wont loose that many users over this specific thing
but if the people that are here now, just stay here and contribute, that can only be a good thing
we need more spaces on the net. diversity and all that shit. its not good for the internet i want to exist to have only one front page. we need more
