Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
Support the hosts with our own funds.
Moderate our own communities.

The second point is the most important. Reddit happened because they are a corporate entity seeking profit. Let's own our social media platforms by actively contributing funds to them.

My entire community is down right now here on Lemmy. Is that because of the Reddit migration? Like, it's there but all the posts have disappeared.

Yes.

It's so weird to be on the recieving end of the "Reddit hug of death" for a change.

As long as we hold the hug, more and more people can jump shio

Lol well while you're at it, if you're interested in PS2 games, and more specifically a niche gem called Kinetica why not check out my currently bugged and suffocated community? https://lemmy.world/c/kinetica 😃😂

Those burning circuits I smell? That's the smell of progress, my friend. Here for the first time, for the unplanned stress test.
