- Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
- Support the hosts with our own funds.
- 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.
