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 Reddit is run by a psycho who looks forward to owning slaves after the downfall of civilisation.

    Because Reddit locked out third party apps and when asked for an explanation, their first instinct was to lie.

    Because Reddit disguises its adverts as user posts.

    Because Reddit is overrun with fake user accounts trying to control discourse on the internet.

    Because Reddit’s real users will post Among Us jokes in threads about school shootings to farm karma.
