FediTips has moved!Jun 10, 2023

Apparently Reddit has now banned a subreddit dedicated to the Fediverse Reddit-alternative Kbin:

If you're on a centralised platform like Reddit, this is what they can do. Centralised platforms have all-powerful leaders who can do whatever they want, and you have no alternatives if you disagree.

The point of the Fediverse being on lots of servers is that each server's power is limited. If you disagree with one server's actions, you can move.

I know you're being facetious but TikTok likely appeals to a different demographic and within that audience, it was great - for a time.

@feditips @Kathrin I understand some people liked the format. But TikTok as a *platform* was an Obvious Plant from day one...

If you're referring to the data harvesting (aka spying), then sure. However, that applies to pretty much any other platform as well.
