Reddit's recent API changes making it difficult to moderate the communities I was in charge of was the final straw for me. Tbh I'm surprised the racism, transphobia, and rampant sinophobia didn't scare me away sooner.
I'm digging hexbear and the lemmyverse, y'all are cool as fuck... mostly.
I could handle the occasional racist or belligerent troll when I had proper modtools on mobile. I can't sit down at a computer three times for it, though. Not for free.
I wish talklittle had released a version of RIF where users could input their own, free-tier OAuth key, but...
I mean it would have been far easier on you if you didn't waste your time banning people over criticizing your favorite pinko trolls
