So, I guess I'm done with reddit...

A pity. I met a lot of amazing people via reddit (including @supakaity), and many of those communities have been important to me over the 10 years I've had an account there...

But between deliberately killing off 3rd party apps and their lackluster approach to hate speech, it's time to go.

The fediverse has taught me I don't need to endure hate speech find my communities and my people, so, I'm done.

Yup, this functionally ends my relationship with Reddit, too. It's a a betrayal that we could see coming in slow motion over years now, but it's a betrayal none the less.

Groups can't get widespread adoption here fast enough. I'll happily pay for a Reddit app repurposed for the fediverse, and contribute to a kbin/Lemmy/whatever site that hosts groups I'm interested in. Or even set one up myself, if I'm feeling self-hating enough.

@kichae @[email protected] We have a lemmy instance running. We tried to set a kbin instance up a while back and gave up, but it has progressed since then, and after using kbin.social, I'm somewhat in love with kbin, so once I can convince @supakaity to try round two installing it, we will hopefully have a kbin instance too :)

I also have a Lemmy instance up, but it's just for kicking the tires. It doesn't quite have the traditional forum features, that I can find, that I'd be looking for. I need to add some issues to their tracker.

I've wanted to do the same playing with kbin, but I'm not familiar enough with Docker or the prerequite packages to actually get it to build successfully.

At some point I just need to reinitialize my VPS and get everything running on Docker, but that won't be any time soon.
