So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.
YouTube is getting increasingly user-hostile with monetization with the huge increase in pre-roll and mid-roll ads, starting to lock resolutions above 1080p behind a paywall ( this was reported months ago but I've recently stumbled into my first two videos where 1080p60 and above was paywalled), and even getting aggressive on adblockers.
Most people aren't even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It's not that hard.
You can make the same comment between Facebook being 'easier" than Reddit. Or forums being easier than IRC.
A natural order is as user mass increases, ease of use improves. I think it's fine to acknowledge the challenges while continuing to spread the message and leveraging early adopter influence with folks comfortable doing some reading to understand vs a casual "mom" internet user that needs a very safe, templated app experience without many (or any) customization options.
In the workspace Slack is very big and is very analogous to a supremely polished IRC. Discord outside of professional workspaces is similar, though a bit more detached.
To me, these are the mass market evolutions of IRC from back in the day.

Wizard with a Gun has the potential to be a great roguelike hit. I describe it as Gunfire:Reborn and Hades had a baby in terms of how it controls and feels ( not the story). It's still super early for them, but I liked what I played a lot, and has controller support for comfy couch gaming too.
Passed today by the city council (16 to 5) was a motion asking for a report on amending the constitution to recognize Toronto as some sort of entity, limiting the degree to which the city would be subject to the provinces whims going forwards....
As much as I can understand the desire here, this is a waste of time/resources. Municipalities are creatures and constructs of the province legally speaking. Quite well defined too.

I don't understand why people still want to use reddit instead of moving to Lemmy or Kbin
