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 sucks
    • The new web interface is awful
    • The old web interface is painful on mobile
    • /u/spez is a piece of shit
    • The way they treated their free labor was disgusting
    • I have no desire to create content for them any longer (free or otherwise)
    • etc, etc, etc…
