kbin.social was the first thing on the recommended list.

    It’s not worth staying on at this point anyway. The people that remain are largely assholes. You can basically see the reason that protests don’t work as a macrocosm, because most users now are just bitching that “wahh the blackout only hurts users”. No different to people complaining about climate activists who block highways, or trans right activists who get blamed for “being too loud and annoying”. Protests don’t work when solidarity simply doesn’t exist because most people are just selfish, short sighted idiots, and that’s basically the userbase that remains over on Reddit at this point. I can’t think of a good reason to stay and interact with those kinds of people.

    There are also lots of apologetic mod posts that are like “we reopened because we don’t want to lose all our hard work and be replaced by someone worse, that is not what’s best for our community so we’re reopening”, the ignorance and arrogance of such statements is mind blowing lmao, but trust Reddit mods to not see the wood for the trees.

    I will be thrilled if we end up with some experienced Reddit mods running communities or instances of their own.

      It will be an interesting time for sure. I hope it can work out in a way that skilled moderators can be compensated for their efforts. It seems like donation-supported instances for niche communities isn’t too unrealistic right now, though that doesn’t solve the volunteer labor problem. Cleverer things will probably become possible as the technology improves.
