This is what needs to happen. All these groups that relied on Reddit as a "transparent" and safe method to host forums need to move out. All that's happening here is that Reddit feels like they own all this data and information and thinks they can charge for it.
Happy to see Jellyfin making the move that is beyond "going to the next Reddit" and actually taking ownership of their data and community to safeguard it.
I like that they're moving to something self-hosted. I don't like that it's a non-threaded forum again. I liked Reddit and do like kbin / Lemmy because the structure of the threads is preserved much better, like it was with Usenet or mailing lists before. I think a better approach would have been to host such an instance on their own.
I wonder if this could mean a resurgence of multiple old forums.
The upvote button is stuck for me. It doesn’t register my click.
Good. hardwareswap is moving to Discord for now too. Which is slightly better
