Without a lot of #karma you can easily get bullied by the established community though 🤷

Or the #Reddit system bans you for something as simple as posting a BBC link 😅

Posting on #Reddit can be scary sometimes.

The #Fediverse is a much friendlier place 👍

A few months back, I simplified my social media presence from Facebook, Nextdoor, Mastodon, and Reddit to just the last two. I briefly brought back Nextdoor to try and sell a furniture item locally, and then deleted it straightaway.

I'm seriously thinking of dropping Reddit. The timeline stresses me out quite a bit, since I can't seem to find filtering capabilities ala Mastodon. Also it is not nearly a friendly place overall like here.

There are a few "communities" (subreddits) that I'd miss, but I think what we have here may be quite satisfactory.

Using billionaires' platforms
will not save us anymore.

They have full control to silence your voices there. Using it only means more power to them. Leave their control and join The Resistance.

To build powerful communities
that will be able to resist the oppression and injustice coming up soon, we need to fully move towards independent platforms.

The Resistance will be federated ✊
