1. Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
  2. Support the hosts with our own funds.
  3. Moderate our own communities.

The second point is the most important. Reddit happened because they are a corporate entity seeking profit. Let’s own our social media platforms by actively contributing funds to them.

    I won’t be using both because I don’t feel comfortable with that plan for myself, but I totally understand your reasoning. My life choices followed a different path when it comes to social media. I just like this environment so much because there are really cool people to interact with. Even if I get in an argument with somebody, it’s good for me because we’re having a reasonable argument. On Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, social media et al you can’t do that. I feel more me on here.
