Welp, I tried Reddit. Thought it might be a good place to publish some work, so I went ahead and put it up there. My this thing: https://murderofarcwolves.substack.com/p/popping-ffxivs-time-bubble

Let's just say that it would be awful if the FFXIV Community on Reddit were to suddenly have to, as a group, face the Bene Gesserit Gom Jabbar Test of Humanity. Like, 98% of them would be dead from immediately ripping their hand right out of that box. So sad, a life lived only by instinct and wholly without self-awareness.

Sounds like my abusers. Glad they're gone from my circle. Now so is Reddit, thank goodness!

Honestly, something like this would've been awful if I still cared what strangers on the internet thought of me. As with my abusers, I now see them as the weak, terrified, little monsters that they are, keeping their boots on the faces of kind, empathetic giants just so they can see above their own self-loathing.

It's why I can be here. Because I am free to post, receive no interaction, and continue to post happily again tomorrow. And because you are lovely enough that you make it worth it to come back tomorrow even if nothing comes from my posts today. 💙

Thank you for that, BTW!

This is the power of compensatory ego-building, which I highly recommend for any kind person who's self-esteem has also been stomped to mush by weak, terrified, little monsters who we taught ourselves to fear because we didn't wanna be mean and laugh at them instead.

Parece que en Reddit algunos Subreddits van a a pasar a muro de pago, no se si afectará a alguno de los que sigo, algunos no me importa demasiado como los NSFW, pero otros he sacado información de calidad y sin tener que matarme navegando por cientos de páginas esos si me joderían.

En caso de que eso pase espero que las comunidades de Lemmy equivalentes crezcan y den entonces igual o mejor información, eso creo que sería muy bueno para Lemmy

Made the decision to #DeleteFacebook and #DeleteInstagram accounts this year. Instagram already deleted, but Facebook might be a bit harder, since I've been on the platform for ages, and all my friends are there, and there's a lot of content that I've posted there.

The continued #enshittification of everything e.g. Meta removing #FactChecking and #dei programs, was kind of the last straw. I've pretty much moved over to Mastodon, but currently only been a lurker.

This is my first post here, and I thought this was worth sharing. I'll still keep my FB account for a while, and keep posting information about the #fediverse, and where people could move if they want to keep in touch with me online.

I'm thinking of #friendica, or #diaspora, but not sure of which to register to, any suggestions on that?

I've also been on #lemmy for a couple of years, since the #RedditExodus. #pixelfed is still not really there with the content, but I'm hoping people would move there from Instagram, once the total destruction of all the #EvilCorps platforms is complete.

I hate to talk about reddit, but...

I was there for a dozen years or more, posting and commenting several times most days. In other words, I was active.

Part of that meant going to the website regularly, and I developed a muscle memory for "r e d <tab>" which could be typed with three fingers on one hand.

I catch myself even a year after leaving. It was an EXCELLENT name in that regard. My Mastodon server requires two hands and at least four fingers ( m s t <tab> ).

Last day of the Reddit 3rd party apps still working.

This seems to be the best list of where all the subreddits have relocated to.
