A lot subreddits end their blackout tomorrow. Will you go back to Reddit, or continue with kbin and the Fediverse? (kbin.social)

I haven't used Reddit at all since the blackout began. Even if they change course, the Fediverse is growing on me, and I think I'll stay here.

But I think I'll peek in tomorrow to see what happens.

While I know it'd be nice for us to just have a breezy experience where all our expectations played out before us with a snap of the fingers, please try and remember this site has been here like one single month, and the dude who's running things managed to accommodate like 120000! new members signing in yesterday. It's slow because it's new and we're all donating money to get this ramped up as quickly as possible.

Just have some grace, and some sympathy, and maybe even some patience.

Personally I'm not here for a slick interface and lightning fast performance. Those things can be fixed. I'm here for the community -- that's something Reddit doesn't have, and can never be fixed.

this might seem silly, but - while the lag is frustrating - it kinda reminds me of the old internet and it's weirdly nostalgic for me? lmao

90's kid here. Might explain why it's just annoying and not absolutely intolerable to me. Makes me want to go watch flash animations about badgers.
