With the dumpster fire that is Twitter, and now Reddit, more than ever there's a need for decentralization. At this point, it's not a matter of if, but when a company will turn on itself to make a profit. What made Reddit Reddit, are the communities. While Reddit actually hosts the service, that's pretty much the only contribution to its existence I've seen. I used the webpage when on a PC, but I refused to use the official app. I've decided to bite the bullet and delete my Reddit accounts, because that's the only real way to make a statement, not blacking out subreddits for a few days. They don't care about that. It's just a drop in the ocean. But deleting (user) accounts, that's sending out a clear message. Lemmy continuing to grow and attract content creators, moderators, and posters will make it more vibrant and usefull. So I'm personally here to stay.
