This platform feels so much more real and what I remember the Internet used to be like. Whenever I go back to Reddit, it feels like the soul of the website was siphoned out when Steve Huffman decided to annihilate the platform

@gronjo45 @The_Picard_Maneuver Reddit was definitely going downhill for a little while but slow enough for me to still be able to enjoy it

After this year's fun and games I signed up with Kbin and quite happy there. When I do occasionally go back to Reddit the difference between the quality of conversation is quite striking (depending on the sub).

I've been thinking about trying Kbin. I'd love to see how the Linux and technology communities are over there. I can't even visit Reddit anymore with how enshittified it became. It seems like there are so many more bots, the quality of the conversation has definitely dropped since the API pricing explosion.

I got red-pilled into F(L)OSS stuff when I read about what was being done to developers. I only had ever used the default proprietary app because I somehow didn't know that alternatives existed. I guess my phone was just for memes and for mindless entertainment then I realized I needed to use SSH and a bash terminal. I might have attached a meme by accident. It is infinitely buffering so I think we'll find out when I post this.
