  1. Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
  2. Support the hosts with our own funds.
  3. Moderate our own communities.

The second point is the most important. Reddit happened because they are a corporate entity seeking profit. Let's own our social media platforms by actively contributing funds to them.

In truth if I’m being honest with myself, most posts, even in my beloved communities, were just turning into 90% bot ads; it’s gotten more and more obvious over time and I was ignoring it for so long but Reddit really is a husk if what it was and kinda has been for awhile. As a 12 year user, it’s hard to leave it behind but I’m slowly learning whatever the fuck all this is. Godspeed to everyone here!
