Eh, I know about the alternatives and they’re all clunky messes that will probably never have anywhere near the same userbase as reddit. Even if they do, they won’t function the same way.
I don’t mind Lemmy, and if Reddit continues to shit the bed I’ll probably switch over fully, but I would much much prefer that Spez backtrack on all the recent garbage and just have stuff go back to business as usual.
I like having all my content aggregated to one space. A big selling point of lemmy and other federated systems is that they’re “more free”, but until a month ago everything was fine. I don’t need or want to shake the foundations of how people consume media, I just need one guy to stop being a dickhead for 30 seconds.
I’m guessing, at least partially, sunk cost fallacy.
And not knowing about alternative places.

Good luck on that when greed is the motivation for said dickheadedness

Is there a federated “Instagram”?
