EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as "Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks." will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!...
I keep seeing communities on lemmy writing in their bio "not official" or in some way deferring to the reddit community. I also see them writing that they're willing to give up their community to the reddit mods if they ask. It's like the whole place has imposter syndrome....
Many of us prefer mods who are NOT the same mods as the reddit mods, depending on the subject. kbin is not reddit. People on reddit have lots of choices on where to go to. I personally didn't leave reddit because I care about API policies. I left because reddit gives mods way too much power to abuse.
It's a little daunting to me that in some cases there are 2 or more communities between the federated alternatives; what's the best way to corral these? I had thought I could perhaps subscribe to Lemmy instances on kbin; is that correct? If so, how? Thank you in advance....
I'm hoping for some kind of "multi-reddit" style system that lets us combine the communities from different instances.
Usenet is another decentralized discussion network like fedverse, but in which all discussion groups from every server are automatically merged together so for users it doesn't even feel decentralized. Most groups have a moderated and a non-moderated version.
Usenet is decentralised but hardly any relevant discussions in society happen there. (Unless you prove me wrong.)
Huh? It used to be more important than reddit ever was. And people can always go back there. It is decentralized but does not feel decentralized to users. All discussion groups from every server are automatically merged together into one.
There are probably people who still say kbin is irrelevant today. Things can change. All it would take is some free Usenet web interfaces like fedverse has. Usenet is older than Fedverse but still does certain things better, like automatically merging together all similarly named groups from every server. And the newsreaders are much better at showing you only what is new.
I've seen a post here about Reddit restoring user content without permission and discussing whether this is legal or not, and decided to create this post to help others find resources regarding this before taking any legal action....
Everybody who hasn't deleted all their comments should go and delete 10 or so comments. Like I did. The idea is to overwhelm admins who are trying to restore comments.
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said he wants to end user-led protest by instituting a rule that would allow users to vote out moderators who have overseen the protest. NBC News' David Ingram shares the latest.
Sitewide suspensions for single users are mostly IP based.
I can confirm this. Reddit will helpfully "connect" accounts with same IP address. So if a family member or ex roommate or stranger using the same public IP address or temporary IP address and they get banned for any reason you are banned too. But you won't know you are banned on a sub until you innocently post on that sub. Then you get a strike. 3 strikes and you are permanently banned. First 2 are 3 day and 7 day bans for every account. Of course none of that prevents anybody who was banned (legit banned or random banned) for getting around it. All it does is subtract value and degrade the entire site.
I don't really care about the API thing, but I want reddit to die and be replaced, because it is terribly mismanaged. Almost every "exiting improvement" they have added over the last 10 years has subtracted value from the site.

Reminder: Reddit is gone. Your community *is* official. If you're a mod, you're just as good as a reddit mod.

What is the best way to make sense of the alternative federated communities?

Should we also take a serious look at properly governed centralised solutions instead of federations decentralisation? What about a non-profit running a platform with democratic governance? (feddit.de)
While the second paragraph has been slightly debunked, the first paragraph is an interesting idea I've underappreciated/neglected until now....
