Mastodon and Firefish have been good alternatives for me, not to mention, they're part of the same fediverse as KBin

Libreddit does work, but not all instances of it do.

beehaw - tight-knit diverse, lgbtq and positivity reddit

Mastodon: open-source, in the fediverse, open for signups (depending on the instance)
Bluesky: proprietary, invite-only (for now), not in the fediverse but has its own network of domains

Out of the open platforms, I use:
Reddit: Lemmy, Beehaw, Kbin
Twitter: Mastodon, Calckey
Facebook: idk nothing really plus I don't even use Facebook that much anymore

I may occasionally use proprietary ones like Twitter, Tumblr and Threads.

And I have nowhere to go but Kbin because Beehaw is unstable and I don't want to open up a fourth account. Accumulating fediverse accounts should be the last thing you do

"Third reply downvotes" and other types of bullying done for absolutely no reason. Also, people misleading others to disgusting communities just to troll them, for example (and I am paraphrasing the names of the communities): "misspell the community's name to c/vercute instead of c/verycute and you accidentally get a sub full of gore" or "check out c/audioing, it's definitely not people doing a very disgusting thing to one of their body parts". I do, however, like the fact they're bringing the whole subreddit swap meme - for example: on Reddit we have had r/trees and r/marijuana_enthusiasts and I've seen that implemented into Lemmy instances already. I wouldn't get rid of that, I think there are some traditions that are neat and don't harm anybody.

I think that the moment YT starts actually blocking people who use ad blockers, we need ot start pushing for the adoption of PeerTube the way we did for Lemmy, kbin and Mastodon.

A couple things I would like to see on kbin:

  1. Setting to switch the default homepage from "hot" to anything else, or add an option to only see posts from magazines I follow
  2. Setting to move the "make a comment" box to a place that's above the comments

Otherwise, this is pretty much perfect so far.

On the other hand, it makes spammy articles from content farms the primary resource to find answers.
And either way, not everybody is doing this, so Reddit retains part of its usability, which still exists, and some portion of people will still use Reddit after the API changes.

 

I might get "cancelled" for this, but hear me out:
If you remove your account bad actors won't be able to identify you unless they put in the effort. Reddit staff will revert popular comments and posts to the way they were before the Blackout. Mass-scrambling your posts and comments with a "f*ck Spez", followed by a long chain of "A"s or whatever, annoys people who are just trying to find an answer to something on Reddit, and it doesn't help anybody except the user's feelings.
The preservation of information comes above some moral feeling.
Your opinion?

It's your decision, and I hate Reddit and Spez ever since they decided to do the whole API thing, but personally, if I were to close my account, I wouldn't scramble all of my comments and posts. It makes it harder for people who still search for answers to questions on reddit to find what they're looking for. You aren't preserving valuable information with this, you're destroying it.

It's a terrible decision, but I think they just couldn't keep the servers up for the average user because of the "optimizations". People look for news on Telegram anyway nowadays.
