Soooo... after Twitter, now it's Reddit's time to go down in flames. And again, some people try to flock to some alternatives. 1. The alternatives are still small, and yes, a lot of subreddits are still going. I guess what's going to happen is similar to Twitter, where the enshitification is going to lead to a few waves of people migrating as new changes are announced or service deteriorates 2. I don't think the impact is going to be as big as it was for Twitter, at least for now. Maybe if a lot of communities start having trouble because the bots they relied on stop working... We'll see. 3. The main alternative mentioned is Lemmy/Kbin. I signed up on lemmy.one, a Lemmy instance that DOES NOT HAVE DOWNVOTES. And that's amazing. Downvotes is something I actually always hated on Reddit, and I'm happy to be somewhere I'n not going to ever see them. 4. Being from the forum's days, I wouldn't mind also changing to using forums instead. The now-going-to-be-defunct DPReview has a nice forum interface that allowed you to see conversations either threaded or chronological. (_and no downvotes_) 5. And I guess there's also a last option, which is a mental health and sanity opportunity I guess... be less online. Use the time to read or watch something instead, practice music, whatever. 6. Which is an option that people sometimes really need to consider: do you actually benefit from jumping to a Reddit's alternative? Do you need, or is it good for you to spend this much time online discussing w/ strangers that don't even know you? 7. Like... on Twitter or Mastodon, I can focus on chatting with a few people, and kinda of getting to know them, or even become online friends. Now with Reddit... many times you don't even know if you already interacted with that person or not, so there's no connection being made. *** Reply on [Mastodon](https://mindly.social/@falcon/110595801681338206) or at [email protected].
