Especially since they don't know anything about it yet - they just know that some capitalist is brushing off an old trademark to create something with shining new AI moderation, and somehow they manage to get their hopes up rather than looking to existing functional alternatives.

Then again, I think this place benefits from a slow and steady growth rate. If 500 000 disgruntled Reddit users decided to move in tomorrow we wouldn't know where to put them. I would rather see us grow through individual communities setting up camp here and making the place their own because they like it here, not a bunch of users coming all at once because Reddit decided to do some thing or another.

ikr. I'd rather be in a cafe than a cafeteria. Cafeterias are only really useful if you want to advertise to people.

Me too, but just because the platform is a cafeteria doesn't mean individual communities can't be a cafe. With a large userbase comes the growth of niche communities, which is currrently what I miss most from Reddit.

yeah, i really miss my local sub from my city. it was a nicer way to share and learn about stuff happening around me than just the local paper. i also wonder how the duplicates between instances will pan out. the fragmentation of pretty small communities isn’t great imo.

i am happy to be here with all you losers tho. thanks for having me.

Consolidations are happening, see [email protected]

Yeah, that can be problematic. I put together a guide on consolidation over on [email protected].
