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.

    i used to inhabit forums and bbs that did something similar to reddit and i learned that the downfall will be so slow that no one will be able to recognize it. one of them was still around and i took a look when i left reddit and saw that the die hards remained and now post over 75% of the content.

    it’s a bit like climate change; it’s unquestionably happening but most either won’t admit it or just ignore it.
