kbin.social and lemmy.world are starting to get traction in the "fediverse". I think they're probably far more viable long term solutions to the reddit problem. That would never have been needed if Reddit didn't insist on shooting their own foot.

- jochem9 3y agoI'm happy it's happening. Putting ownership back in the community's hands is a huge win for the freedom and diversity of the internet.
- smachiz 3y agoI agree, but it's a lot more work, and each individual federated instance has a lot of control and data. It's definitely better, but you'd still need to migrate content if your instance owner goes ape.
- jochem9 3y agoThen host your own instance. That's actually more work, but worth it if you don't trust whomever is hosting your community. Should become fairly straightforward once you have parties taking care of the technical details (there probably are already some). Not sure what else is 'a lot more work'?
