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.

@dangillmor going dark for 48h isn't going to be enough. Subs should stay dark and users should boycott reddit until they come back on their policy change and propose a more sensible pricing. If we all go back after 2 days, this will just confirm it's ok to bully users and developers.
