Tradeoffs.
If we want the flexibility of not being beholden to a monolith of mods like reddit, then we have to accept the consequence that anyone can create a community anywhere.
It's not hard to search the fediverse, just takes effort to filter. In fact, the great overwhelming volume we get from it is testament to how much better this is than reddit.
Seems to me you're tilting at windmills.
At what point would that trade of be not worth it?
Right now in my head, it seems that too many communities are being started, and for most interests there is no clear "winning" community.
Huh?
You're here aren't you? I think that says you consider the tradeoffs worth it.
Im here because im making a conscious effort because reddit is descending into "crypto moderator damnation bullshittery," not because it has cemented itself into habituality yet.
And im not sure it will at this rate, and that oeaves a goant stinking hole in my online habits of "using reddit but I'd really rather not be".
Lol, there's a name for "doing it but I really don't/shouldn't be".
I'm kinda relieved. I too was spending far too much time there. Got a new start here, thing I'm gonna "curate" (ugh, hate that word) my feed to just useful stuff. Block news, politics, emotional tugs, etc. Just "how does this work" kinda stuff.
