Remember that fediverse platforms don’t have to kill off centralised social media networks, they just have to be a viable alternative. Users will come and go, I’ll probably be one of them. I’ll try my best to build solid foundations for communities I care about here. But yeah, as much as I’d like to cast it off entirely there’s no doubt in my mind that I will keep Reddit around for the foreseeable future at least because the objective reality is that all of my hobbies have well-established roots there with huge knowledge bases, and psychologically that’s going to be difficult to let go of. Will I be thinking much more carefully about what kind of future I want to help build for social media when choosing where to put my future content though? Absolutely. And in my mind, it’s not on a platform that has proven time and time again that it is more than willing to sell its users down the river.
