@ampersandrew Just use Heroic Launcher, you get to enjoy whatever Epic games you have, without having to use their launcher. Plus it works with GOG games as well.

@Masimatutu Agree with you, it definitely should be an individual choice rather than a collective one, instead of users having to decide which instance they want to be on based on whatever drama is happening currently.

@InterSynth Exactly, people need to understand companies are there to make money.

@ersanmartin Honestly probably not, but it doesn't immediately have to either. In my opinion it's already a viable alternative to Reddit, so that's already a win.

Kbin & Lemmy (and others) can just keep developing and maturing as a platform, while Reddit keeps making bad decisions in the future because you know they will, and it'll be there, for those who want to come over.

@sota2077 When I first came over to Kbin that's the thing I got hung up on, everything else I got used to quickly. There's plenty of smart people in the Fediverse, I'm sure someone will come up with a solution.

The blackout probably won't result in Reddit failing, but he has to realize that if he keeps this up, it's only going to take some aspiring programmers/designers some time to develop more Reddit alternatives, and when one of them becomes viable, down goes Reddit.
