Reddit had become so valuable to me for several topic-specific subreddits that it's hard to leave.
But the Musk-like treatment of the people who helped make the site popular -- amplified by the CEO's deceit and arrogance -- is a reminder that highly centralized conversations are vulnerable.
So I'm disconnecting from Reddit and seeking alternatives, hoping that decentralization will win in the end.

Hope the maintainer of reddark.untone.uk will soon start identifying links to these courageous, principled subreddit moderators' new homes in the #fediverse #OpenSource + #OpenData world.

How does that work? I've never heard of RSS being used with Reddit.
RSS has been at the foundation of Reddit since very early on. Every subreddit can be accessed as RSS feed by adding .rss in the end of subreddit's name. Every user can also enable private RSS feeds and have private messages etc via RSS as well.
@dangillmor #lemmy has filled the void for me. Federated, similarly to Mastodon, and a huge destination for folks leaving Reddit. Reminds me of the internet of old!
@dangillmor It's frustrating to watch something that functions as a public square be enclosed on and eroded by greed.
There are theoretically viable alternatives, I sincerely hope that people are more considerate with their next choice of social media platform.
@bh11235 I have good news! https://infosec.pub is running lemmy, and https://fedia.io is running kbin and we control them both
