  1. Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
  2. Support the hosts with our own funds.
  3. Moderate our own communities.

The second point is the most important. Reddit happened because they are a corporate entity seeking profit. Let's own our social media platforms by actively contributing funds to them.

Ditto, I said at the time, people are lazy including myself and I wasn't going to leave my account for a 2 day protest, spez was right when he said it would blow over. But once RIF stopped working, well guess what I'm also to lazy to download and navigate their shitty app, so here I am wefwef isn't perfect, preferred rif, but at least it's not bloated.
