I want to agree, but Reddit is an absolute trove of information and support on all kinds of technical issues. It’s a repository of information and solutions not rivaled by many others. Losing Reddit would legitimately make the internet a less usable, less helpful place. It’s a damn shame, but it’s true.

@butter @caos in my own experience, it seems to depend what you want your feed to look like. Account central gives you a Twitter like feed of every individual account you follow, whereas something like Lemmy is going to be focused on following communities as a whole.
Personally I use mastodon and subscribe to the lemmy communities I’m interested in seeing in my account-centered feed, good middle ground to get both in one place
When I run into issues and look to Reddit, despite not knowing how to solve my problems, it’s at least 50/50 odds I find my solution and have no issues. To pretend the misinformation discredits the entire platform is folly. May as well toss out stackoverflow and others, their track record isn’t any better in my experience. I have similar odds there at a solution
All forums have problems, and while I don’t agree with reddits business strategy, it’s backlog is unmatched by most resources.
