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?

    But why did you migrate entirely instead of just going to the main app or a browser with Ublock Origen?

    It doesn’t feel good being herded into increasingly constrained solutions.

    First they started charging for the API, then killed all free mobile apps, then killed various moderation tools, then started banning indiscriminately (probably using low quality AI)…

    They just keep making the situation worse, intentionally, as much as they can get away with.

    In contrast, this place keeps getting better, as features are added to the Fediverse.
