Justin FerrellThere is no point in even having the #Reddit IPO now. The CEO has been getting publicly owned all week.

@developerjustin yep, new CEO needed. I was just starting to get into reddit after leaving Twitter thanks to Musk’s antics, I hadn’t even got into the third party Reddit app ecosystem yet, and now I’m leaving there too. I guess Mastodon will have to satisfy my desire to be on social media. A pity, cause Reddit was such a useful product.
Chris (He/Him)@SimonCHulse @developerjustin Reddit is still useful. There are subreddits on just about any topic. Still a great place to find books to read, help with games, or other specific topics.
Roadskater, Ph.D.@LMNOChris @SimonCHulse @developerjustin Until the day you get banned from a subreddit because the mods changed the posting/commenting rules without telling anyone.
@roadskater @LMNOChris @developerjustin or when someone downvotes your post before anyone has upvoted it so you don’t even see any replies.
LiemPong_pagong@roadskater @LMNOChris @SimonCHulse @developerjustin
or because you oroposed an opposing opinion.
@LMNOChris just steer away from the large political and ultra religious subs. Also the shitposters from meme subs and other non niche ones.
Basically the smaller and the more specific the sub is. The better. Except r/askhistorians. They're large and yet still so good.
Flta@SimonCHulse @developerjustin I had downloaded Mastadon originally as a curiosity when the Musk takeover happened at Twitter. I wasn’t impressed with it at the time because I had no clue what server to join and Reddit was already my go to. I am now coming back to Mastadon after hearing there is a default server.
@flta @developerjustin fair enough. It can be confusing at first, but the great thing is that you can follow anyone posting on any other fediverse site, anything based upon the ActivityPub system, which includes Mastodon, but also many others.

Basically my situation as well.
Kindof been hopping around online now as imo a bunch of previously popular social medias are going downhill.

@kk5dire @flta @developerjustin little known fact: media is the plural of “medium”, so “social media” is already the plural form ;)
Jay@SimonCHulse @developerjustin agreed. The delusion fusion is strong at Reddit HQ. For a platform that is almost entirely driven by user-generated content to be so hostile to 3rd-party user experiences would only even remotely make sense if they knew that 1st-party experiences still dominate over 3rd-party apps.
Reddit CEO Huffman's shallow 'AMA' is rather telling
