I'm ready for reddit to burn to the ground at this point

I dont think his plan is even that deep. They have an ipo coming up and spez is set to make yacht money. he doesnt care if he burns the site to the ground cause he still walks out with a giant paycheck

yeah. think of it like email.

Instead of being username on reddit youre now username@instance. As long as your instance and my instance are set to talk then its like we are on one big server. I can sub to communities out of my instance and post content and others can do the same with communities on my instance

if you see a community on a different instance that you cant find on yours you can even paste the whole link in the community search bar and if you are the first subscriber from your instance you'll add it to the search bar for your whole instance (as long your instances talk)

It's pretty dang cool and now that its got momentum I cant wait to see where it goes

I think a lot of people from twitter made accounts ( I know I'm guilty) because we all thought twitter was legit about to disappear into an internet sinkhole

but when it didnt I think the quirks of mastadon kept a lot of people from spending the time to find everyone all over again.

yeah, ive only checked the front page to upvote protest topics but what Ive noticed is things aren't getting pushed off the frontpage for hours and hours now. It definitely feels like activity is dropping off a cliff.

it reminds me a whole lot of the early days of reddit / digg

planning on really making a go here even if reddit turns around.

Otherwise once 3rd party rules kick in and my apps evaporate ill give it a little while after to see what they do but then I plan to erase and delete my 2008 account
