I'm just curious why some people come here; in my case, it's because it's not the same as on centralized platforms. I love these kinds of forums.

got tired of my comments being removed for saying stuff like dead Nazis please me

although apparently some mods around here don't like that either

Reddit killed rif(so Reddit stopped being fun) So I installed connect instead of the actual Reddit app. Still use Reddit in browser for a few more niche subs, but that's almost always been lurking for me anyways

I came here because I wanted to run some communities, but ultimately it was impossible on Reddit. All the names are taken, all the aging mod teams set in stone. You essentially have no meaningful opportunity to build anything new on there. In contrast, and especially with federation, the Fediverse is a completely different system. A fresh start - still after 2 years. And it has way better internal advertisement of communities than Reddit does.

And to be clear, on Reddit you can easily just shout into the wilderness at no-one. Big audience means you can get drowned out.
