I wish there was an alternative to leaving Reddit

    I’m pretty sure most redditors won’t care enough to leave. I predict the only people actually leaving will be old guard (like 35+) and FOSS nerds who pine for the good old days of the internet and/or otherwise have ideological qualms with the changes. Everyone else will just grumble and get the ad infested, inferior official app.

      I want the more the merrier as long as we can moderate the more toxic tendencies, but at this moment I’m also pleased that much of the folks and vibes are much like reddit when i first joined

      I’m definitely in the right age bracket… Let’s see how this goes. The good thing is that quite a few moderators are on board, so if we shut the large communities down long enough, that might flip a bunch of people over.

      Not sure about that. If content and infrastructure (aka mods) leave, there is enough incentive to move away if you are a lurker.
