Just realized that the other day.
I had initially intended to feel it out and honor the blackout from 12-14, then figured, “I’m here now, might as well ride out the month if Reddit isn’t responding in any meaningful way to the community’s requests” and now I think I’ll just be in the fedi apps for the foreseeable future.
It’s different here, but it hasn’t been a struggle and it gets better and better with time. Feels nice to not support inhumane and user-hostile endless corporate greed.
I went to the live thread on worldnews when the coup was happening. I know it’s not all accurate or confirmed. But it definitely broke some things before news sites did. And it’s pretty easy to tell the difference between speculation and an actual video of a town getting taken over.
