Reddit Migration

Nope and I don't see the point of deleting or defacing comments and posts, really. I'm not really interested in destroying reddit, I'm just... not using it anymore (or not as much).

Things like relationship and parenting advice communities and other sorts of support subreddits don't seem to be moving anywhere yet and I do enjoy them so dunno. Currently RedReader seems fine for those and won't be affected by the API change because it was granted an exception. The RedReader dev seems to be on my wavelength. So far the Fediverse seems perfectly fine for technical topics. With the exception that on Reddit, you will often find support people for small devices that work for companies inside of their communities. I'm keeping my eye out for the other content.

Another issue is that for better or worse it is somewhat easier to trust reddit. Reddit admins limit what moderators can know or see about users. I don't fully understand the privacy implications of the federverse and the fact that you don't know who the admins are and what they might be doing. So in some ways I trust Reddit a bit more at this point.

I know the damage that a power tripping reddit mod can do and how to protect myself from moderators harassment there. But I suspect that Fediverse is essentially "moderators who also know your IP address". So some topics do seem safer to discuss on Reddit than here.
