Rather than place all your energy into Reddit, a place that is slowly going down the toilet. Why not put your energy into making this place better? That's using your energy more efficiently. Make this place better, and people will move from Reddit.

Also, it seems a little rude, and awkward to use Kbin for nothing more than a place to organize protests to keep Reddit alive.

This is turning into such a shit show. I can see some group deciding to do some form of attack on Reddit, just for shits and giggles.

When the api stops being freely accessed, loads of bots will stop. The only ones using Reddit will be ones they have created, and that will be interesting to see what rubbish they spout. I bet we will see one bot going on the rampage saying 'Spaz is wonderful'.

It will be interesting to see how they deal with GDPR for us EU users.

Good old free speech wins the day.

I think I have done my rounds and checked out almost all alternatives. Many have good points, as well as bad. The thing that made me think the Fediverse is the place, is seeing actual debate. People actually stating sources for their opinion, then replies stating alternative sources, etc... No hate, just calm breaking down of viewpoints and decent scientific sources being used. I couldn't recall the last time I saw that on Reddit. I have been in that place for 15 or so years.

This made me explore the Fediverse, that was about six months ago. I explore any new place that pops up, mainly from curiosity. Some I really have hated, but what makes one place better over another can be subjective. So I am not going to hate on anyone that opts to move elsewhere. Life is too short for that shit. I moved to Kbin after exploring other places in the fedi-wotsit-time-continuum, for no other reason than it felt relaxed, and heading in the right direction.
