I've been on Reddit since before subreddits were a thing. With the continuing degradation of the primary UIs the only things that kept it usable were the API and old.reddit.com. With one going away it would be foolish to count on the other staying around. I really thought that Reddit knew better than to go full Digg but I guess I was wrong.
So it's time to learn a lesson and move on. I've been enjoying Mastodon for the past few months but I also like to have a place for topic-focused communities so this is the natural place to come to. Looking pretty sweet so far. With the community-based federation model it seems like the closest thing we have to a Usenet 2.0.
