Because Reddit has fully turned to the dark side lol. It’s been trending downhill for a while now but with the recent API shenanigans it became very clear it wasn’t going to improve. So here I am lol. Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve had to find an alt (RIP Digg).

Same, plus curiosity and enthusiasm for FOSS. Can't wait until fediverse is developed enough to host also niche communities like 'cassette_futurism' or 'liminal_space'.

Be the change you want to see :)

Even just creating those communities, then populating them with a few of the top posts from reddit, would be a good start.

That’s a good idea. Is there a certain way you’d recommend doing that? I don’t necessarily want to give Reddit the satisfaction of my traffic lol I’ve seen some people mention ways to browse it anonymously but I’m honestly not very familiar with those options.
