This pretty much sums up the last couple days. Thankfully we have Beehaw and Mastodon.
Been using the fediverse since the 1st of June, don’t miss reddit at all. As a matter of fact, it’s made me realize just how plagued reddit had become with bots and ads and just terrible communities of hate and perversion. I was on reddit for like 13 or 14 years and since it was a slow process I didn’t realize how awful a lot of the site had become. So glad to have left.
I wish I could say the same honestly. I mean, I don’t really miss browsing Reddit, but I miss some of the smaller communities that haven’t made their way over here (or are so tiny here that there’s no discussion), and I hate how many of my Google queries point me to Reddit links because I refuse to open them on my phone
Can’t wait for Beehaw to have 7 or so golden age years before we drop this place. But it’s gonna be a great time in between.
@argo_yamato I’m curious how well interactions from Mastodon to Beehaw work, as I think that the opportunities for a unified ID across instances and “instance types” is a huge strength of the fediverse.
It really is remarkable how two giants of the industry lost so much so quickly.
I’m hoping Bluesky does join the fediverse just so I don’t have to jump between apps. Lemmy has been great, but people don’t comment as much. I miss that
I won’t touch anything with Dorsey’s name attached. Yuck.
