Whats the best way to take action for me as a single user? What kind of posts should I focus on making? Ive heard of fetching reddit posts, maybe I could do that if theres like an easy process to do so, I’d happily feed some communities I like with posts from the silicon valley mafia platform to this platform!
Also whats the name of this platform? I registered under feddit org, is the umbrella term called fediverse? Accroding to wiki then this(fediverse) should be linked to platforms like pixelfed and mastadon too, is it? How do I see content from them or in what way are these platforms interlinked with this reddit styled one?
Take down Reddit ≠ turn into Reddit
Yeah the thing is we don’t want that either. We just don’t care. We see these posts every time there’s a sizable Reddit emigration. I’m not shitting on you, just telling you that you won’t find a lot of interest in that topic here.
Making the mission be about taking down Reddit gives Reddit a lot of power and credit. Focusing on making an open future for social media creates a new path forward while treating Reddit like what it is—yesterday’s platform.
There will be people who want to stick with the old platform—just look at boomers and Facebook. That’s ok—if we play our cards right, we will be gaining young users while the older demographic shrinks on Reddit.
They’re still multigenerational; Reddit captures lots of Gen Z members, and I’ve also seen people self-proclaimed as being in their 60s on here.
Regardless, the most important thing is to generate decent content. On my end, I’ve been doing what I like the most, which is making communities of topics that I think merit them, and trying to discuss anything as I like, despite any concern about a lack of response.
