It’s easy for them to attack the remaining subreddits when half of reddit, bent the knee at the slightest threat of having mod powers removed. Imagine how hard it would have been to do this if a majority of subreddits had stuck together.

1st thing I thought when I heard they were missing is, yep, it was an iceberg.

IDK I guess I kinda hoped that people would realize how stupid and exploitative the whole system of reddit is and the site would get overrun with spam and turned into an archive site. Was very disappointed in that pipe dream.

Damn. That’s brilliant.

Personally, my goal is to set aside the time to post or comment on the most interesting, informative, helpful tutorials that cannot be found here. To scrape reddit data via RSS and if it’s interesting and not on lemmy or kbin see that it is mirrored here, so that it has the same plus more content. Getting lemmy and kbin results to show up in search results. If there is a way to improve the webui I would like to be part of it, if not the development part then at least the conversation. I’d donate $$s to make this place look and feel better than it does.

But posting on reddit…I had already stopped or reduced posting due to how often I was downvoted for not following the grain, or my replies not showing up or being deleted automatically. Some forums telling me I could not vote because my karma was too low but karma always getting deducted because I didn’t think the same way as the majority subreddit. Here is the first time where I haven’t been less afraid to speak…where I can be upvoted/downvoted and it doesn’t even matter. Reddit is dead to me, and I will never cross-post interesting information to it except to say come join us in developing an alternative - and I can’t even be bothered to do that.

I keep hearing this but all the VPS solutions I find cost an arm + leg. What VPS solutions cost $30/year?

What are the decentralized p2p storage options for hosting bots, would decentralized hosting and storage options be a viable solution?
