Whats the best way to take action for me as a single user? What kind of posts should I focus on making? Ive heard of fetching reddit posts, maybe I could do that if theres like an easy process to do so, I’d happily feed some communities I like with posts from the silicon valley mafia platform to this platform!
Also whats the name of this platform? I registered under feddit org, is the umbrella term called fediverse? Accroding to wiki then this(fediverse) should be linked to platforms like pixelfed and mastadon too, is it? How do I see content from them or in what way are these platforms interlinked with this reddit styled one?
Most people here do not give a shit about Reddit anymore and frankly are tired of hearing about it. We really don’t want the dregs of Reddit coming over here. We got most of the good people when the API bullshit started 2 years ago, and that’s why this place is great. We don’t want to become what we left behind.
Take down Reddit ≠ turn into Reddit
Making the mission be about taking down Reddit gives Reddit a lot of power and credit. Focusing on making an open future for social media creates a new path forward while treating Reddit like what it is—yesterday’s platform.
There will be people who want to stick with the old platform—just look at boomers and Facebook. That’s ok—if we play our cards right, we will be gaining young users while the older demographic shrinks on Reddit.
Yeah the thing is we don’t want that either. We just don’t care. We see these posts every time there’s a sizable Reddit emigration. I’m not shitting on you, just telling you that you won’t find a lot of interest in that topic here.
