Reddit Migration

Nope.. Spaz isn't going to get my money.

He blatantly treated us all like crap:

1. He acted like he was doing us all a favor, and acting like he was a charity. Reddit doesn't even need much bandwidth or resources as it's a text site essentially. They're still making a lot of profit.
2. He doesn't acknowledge that Reddit's value is in the community. Reddit themselves are their content. They basically just admin the servers and throw ads up. Spaz isn't exactly contributing thousands of articles, but lots of people are
3. They don't pay mods. But finally, when the mods get fed up with Reddit, he took credit for their hardwork by hijacking those communities when they objected
4. He went full Elon.. And...
5. He went full Trump when he accused the Apollo developer of blackmailing him. If he wasn't lying, he would have posted more of the conversation. The apollo developer should actually sue him for trying to damage his reputation
6. Finally, the beauty of the fediverse is that we can choose our community. Whereas, Reddit decides if they want to allow toxic communities and people. The toxicity from FatPeopleHate, TheDonald and femaleDatingStategy ended up spilling over into all of the other communities over time, as they allowed those communities to flourish (and eventually I believe into real life)

I actually deleted my main 7+ year old account (no idea exactly how old) a few months ago on Reddit, because it had grown too toxic there. Really happy with Beehaw, and really excited to see where Lemmy / KBin ends up in a few years time. Already donated to Beehaw
