Reddit Migration

It's easy to just block the things you don't want to see. As long as the communities you use don't allow that stuff, they will be banned if they bring it there. The same thing would have happened if more people joined those other reddit alternatives, but no one was willing to do it.

I made a block-button happy trip thru the moderation logs of the larger magazines, got all the trolls & fascists in one fell swoop.

The way to avoid the fediverse suffering the same fate is not to combat extremism with an equivalent amount of antagonistic political dialogue, but to form meaningful communities around non-political topics.

Instead of bickering in circles about politics, join communities dedicated to your hobbies, career, etc.

My primary concern is for the fediverse to generate content that is search engine friendly. Generally, I don't think that political squabbles serve that end.

I'm doing my best to practice what I preach. Check my profile.

The difference now is that Gab exists and those people have been going over there for a few years now. As long as the fediverse doesn’t become an echo chamber like Reddit I’ll stay happy.

This exact thread down to the comments could've been on reddit and no one would've noticed. It's the same rehashed arguments and discussion ad nauseum. If you don't like some instance/magazine/whatever just block it yourself and be done with it.
