I was already annoyed with the direction of Reddit. The community became worse and worse over the years. Absolutely inundated with repost bots. I’ve been pushing away from social media in general for the past like 10 years. I was ready for an alternative, this was the last push I needed. The fediverse feels like an exciting fresh start. I’m done with reddit, and twitter. I’ll still use Reddit to make search results tolerable, but if communities pick up here, it’ll become less useful in that regard.
