I couldn’t even get pass the login screen since I only lurked and never made an account (despite spending over a decade browsing reddit). I remember they used to let you use the app without logging in.

Maybe we need an extremely strong and centralized non-profit with their own Reddit/Twitter/etc. clone. As long as it’s open data and open source, I don’t really care that it’s centralized. We need some entity with enough resources and trust so they can fend of corporate takeover. My vote is Wikipedia, Mozilla, or Linus Torvalds (I want the man himself, not the Linux Foundation).

Over a decade lurking on reddit; never posted. Just made a lemmy account. I don’t need lemmy to be “the next big thing”… just need it to not be overrun by bots and astroturfing. Hopefully some of the smaller subs I visit move over.
