I am currently enjoying some excellent user content courtesy of Mastodon, Lemmy, kbin, and Squabbles. Is something going on at Reddit?

to sum up, it is like there is a rebellion going on and the boss is like playing with a fire to quash the rebellion.

You're absolutely correct, but I think comment OP was being sarcastic. lol.

Do we have a /c/whoosh anywhere yet?

Well done. All 3 of you. I personally would never have pulled that off at ‘the place we never mention.’

OMG me too! Been loving Mastodon for months now and was always wondering how it would look and feel to “federize” ~~Reddit~~ Deaddit. Now I know and love it!

I started with .one because it felt really snappy and responsive, plus .world had just been de federated from Beehaw, and I wanted to be able to interact with the Beehaw community as well.

As I got settled, I quickly realized I couldn’t downvote anyone. Granted I’m more of an upvoter and passive to posts or comments I disagree with, but I enjoy the power of moderation that downvoting offers me when I feel strongly against something.

With this new fresh look on things, and me being more of a purest in my own digital world, I went off to the GitHub instances list and found Vlemmy. I read a few of the admin posts about their stances on blocking and their principals. They seemed to better align with my own principles so I happily signed up, subscribing to all my favorite subs (magazines?) again, including many from .one that I liked.

Hopefully the platform will be updated with (or others will create) tools to aid in migration like Mastodon has, but for now it was a fun experience to go through, realizing that I want to be on a different instance and discovering new communities.

Thanks to all the admins and mods for your hard work, giving us all a place we feel at home!
