Joan Westerberg has been doing great work on the Fediverse. I pasted this link in the one sub I miss r/idiocracy:

My post was really good — I used Idiocracy speech to get my scros to join me in LEMMY and not only was the post rejected but I earned a temporary ban at Reddit.
At this point there isn’t even a point in going back to leave a breadcrumb trail to be followed.
I think they’re going the Twitter-> X route. Make it so unusable for the people who would give any pushback, that all that’s left are the people who are going to cause real harm and the others that are too addicted and/or stupid to leave.
Reddit brain drain has been happening for years, and it’s already embarrassing how much the quality of posts has dropped. Now it’s about to get so much worse.
I was noticing an uptick in the quality of the posts in the last month. It’s to our benefit here.
Agreed!
Just started my Lemmy adventure. Unfortunately, even the morons are jumping ship now.
