I went to Reddit today... (beehaw.org)

And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.

... And I realized I hadn't been there for a week... And frankly didn't miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I'm happy to be here. :)

It's the social media equivalent of KDE and Gnome.

With KDE being kbin in this analogy because they both have the letter k in it. Logic.

I love that! Honestly the whole reddit fiasco has been a huge push for me to switch to open-source platforms. I'm now on Invidious instead of Youtube, here instead of reddit, and I downloaded the LibRedirect addon to redirect me to open-source alternatives whenever available.

I already run Linux Mint on my laptop, so right now the last big holdout is my desktop running the reviOS version of Windows 11, and my phone which I need to get around to rooting.

That's great! I think we're at a stage of the Internet where companies are grasping ever tighter. But as Princess Leia said, "The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers."
