Maybe I just miss Reddit is Fun, not Reddit, but I still have RiF installed (I just can't delete it) and it still "works". I can't sign in or participate, but fuck I miss browsing everything. I've definitely replaced it with Kbin, but opening the RiF app just gives me sadness. Fuck spez.

This, I'm trying to be the change I want to see etc. on Kbin. But in order to fully recreate what I have on Reddit I'd have to recreate, moderate, and cough up content for like a dozen niche subs. Because of how my life is right now I don't have the energy to do one. I haven't noticed much of the toxicity, but any online space that revolves around gaming seems to turn into a toilet within a matter of days anyway, so it's sadly unsurprising.

This is the truth. There was a nice sub on Reddit about Android gaming which was pretty non-toxic but generally speaking gaming brings out the worst in people. And I still don't know why

Even then, "being the change you want to see" is futile if the platform itself has tons of issues and doesn't provide incentives for people of all kinds to join and use over other platforms.

It seems like only hardcore Redditors and hip techies pass the filter to discover the Fediverse and thrive on it, which makes certain communities outright impossible to grow. Case and point; the biggest solo RPG mag on the Fediverse has been running for over a year, and 98% of the ~40 posts have been made by a single dude, most of which have zero interactions. Why? Because the Fediverse's demographic has no interest on the topic.

And yeah, gaming stuff always make the keyboard wizards rush out of their towers. 🧙‍♂️
