MODERATORS
I've given Reddit basically zero of my traffic since I quit it during the "Big Reddit Boycott Of 2023."
But there's definitely stuff I miss. Probably my favorite subreddit was /r/BestOfLegalAdvice. There's a !bestoflegaladvice@lemmy.online here on Lemmy, but all the posts link to Reddit. There would have to be a thriving /c/LegalAdvice on the Fediverse for any /c/BestOfLegalAdvice to thrive without linking to Reddit. So, !bestoflegaladvice@lemmy.online most definitely doesn't scratch the same itch.
Not the only example, but the most poignant for me.
I'm not planning to go back, though. I just can't squint hard enough to justify ending my boycott of Reddit to myself. And how are we supposed to get the big companies to quit enshittifying unless we punish them when they do stupid shit.
