minus-squareinametaphor ( inametaphor@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoI don’t believe anything will change, but it’s heartening to see it anyway.
minus-squareNumbersCanBeFun ( NumbersCanBeFun@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoI’ve had 3 reddit accounts over the entire lifetime of the website. I love Reddit but I won’t stand for their greed. It’s unacceptable.
minus-squarebrianshatchet ( brianshatchet@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoI put in a ridiculous amount of moderation work. I’m quite sad about it. I guess there’s not really much of a choice anymore.
minus-squarevrojak ( vrojak@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoIt’s not like you’ve wasted that time, you made a community work for some amount of time and Reddit being done for does not change that
minus-squareBubkis ( Bubkis@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoI’ve been using it since like, 2013, feels like an end of an era, this site seems really similar, hopefully it has lasting power
minus-squareTHC_GOLEM ( THC_GOLEM@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoAgreed. It’s been so long but I think that’s exactly why Reddit needs to go under. Like yahoo or any other business that makes mistakes.
minus-squareJewish ( Jewish@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoI wish an alternative would work out.
minus-squarebaronvonj ( baronvonj@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years ago… he posted, on an alternative platform
minus-squareDeceptichum ( Deceptichum@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoThey did specify “work out”, let’s see how this goes in a few months time.
minus-squaremkbandit ( mkbandit@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agohardest part is getting used to the differences. But hopefully enough migrate away.
minus-squareBubkis ( Bubkis@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoThis one is already really similar to reddit at least, I long for the bar at the top that shows all the communities I’m subbed too, it’s definitely possible the people running this one will make changes too
minus-squarekayjay ( kayjay@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoIt also desperately needs mobile apps. Using the website on mobile leaves a lot to be desired. That is hopefully coming though
minus-squareHeartyBeast ( HeartyBeast@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoOf course the nice thing is that anyone can create a fediverse mobile app without restrictions. But apparently, there’s a mobile app ‘coming soon’ - see the bottom of https://kbin.pub
minus-squaredensity ( density@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoThe hardest part is lacking all the beautiful non tech sections of reddit; i doubt any will make their way here. Hope to be wrong!
minus-squareIcalasari ( Icalasari@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoWe just need to bring the content here
minus-squareDraconic_NEO ( Draconic_NEO@kbin.social ) linkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoAgreed, we need to help people find their way here. They’re not going to come unless they know where to go.
