I am new to this whole Fediverse stuff. Trying to privatize my life and break away from big tech.

But I have to ask, why are you guys here and not on Reddirt? Where the population us much larger and its basically the same? It appears a few instances dominate this landscape anyway?

Its not like this is unchecked social media, they still moderate these places right? So what’s the benefit?

    because the official app is ad-infested bloatware without decent modtools that gobbles my data bucket and keeps trying to show me popular / all instead of just my subscriptions

    and because reddit cancelled all my coins and then brought out a new microtransaction currency within the year

    and because spez is a shill for the US President and his reactionary right-wing entourage
