the reddit api thing for me as well. I mean I did not use it but reddit was getting bad for so long and it seemed like such bs. Then on top of it I think I had heard about the federation before but just like mastadon. Looking at kbin and lemmy I jumped on kbin. that was lost so I went to mbin but then piefed came up and it felt like it had that kbin spirit so I moved over. You know its kinda funny because I actually hated the initial www having been used to command line stuff. man the newsgroups by the end of the 90's were just garbage though. I liked that I could personal my excite and then when it died made do with yahoo and then google came on the scene. I really did not think about the whole corpo control thing. hung on slashdot and my mmo's got me on reddit. Enshitification got everywhere and now I don't want anything to do with anything that is corpo that I don't have to.
