Looking forward to the Reddit blackout. Hopefully a bunch of new instances pop up and gain traction

    I wouldn’t necessarily say excited myself, it feels more bittersweet. On the one hand it like sucks for folk on a personal level who might have really enjoyed being part of a certain community, or all the work people have put into moderating, posting content or their work on a third party app is just going up in smoke in a snap.

    But on the other, it feels like sweet sweet delicious karma for the stupid bullshit Reddit’s leadership have done over the years and getting to see the birth of something new and better to come out of the ashes. Hopefully this place sticks around because its felt like a breath of fresh air honestly.

        Yeah I was pretty much a mega lurker by the time of the great migration, just using Reddit more as the most tolerable site I was willing to put up with compared to the others rather than out of love for it. Was pretty much itching for something new and better and well here I be now :p
