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.
You get so used to ignoring it, kinda just scanning past the toxicity. Then you come to most of the fediverse where toxicity is low and better controlled. Going back to reddit after that, the old filter where you ignore the crazy shit isn’t on, so it stands out. And it isn’t like it’s a tiny minority there, it’s a significant chunk of comments.
