I'm here to stay. The more I get used to how it works, the more impressed I am with how much better the core concept is and how much that concept influences the quality of the stuff I see.
Honestly, yeah - to me it feels like Reddit, but better at Reddit's core values.
Anonymity -> flexible screen names, usernames per instance, no karma, privacy focused community
Community -> smaller, focused instances coming together like broader subreddits with their own rules and ethos
Diversity -> decentralized federated content has the potential to be even more broad
Discussion focus -> sort by active rocks
No incentive for enshittification or vector for monolithic control/collapse it's decentralized, and even if one server goes full monetized no one else has to, you can move instances without losing access to the broader ecosystem.
I also feel like there will be less (but not zero) incentive for bots/repost accounts, "karma farming", trolling, and astroturfing generally with the simple removal of that damn karma system.
So I'm here to stay and I'm bugging my partner to join also - their main hobby already has an instance of it's own, and I feel like they could really shake things up over there!
