Glad to see that I am not the only one a bit lost but excited with this transition from reddit.
Hopefully this fediverse-thing will be way better and more resilient than everything past.
I was finally able to subscribe to other instances. YAY!

It was truly unexpected to see how large social networks find new and innovative ways to ride and accelerate their downfall.
From my perspective:
Facebook --> Cambridge Analytica fiasco
Twitter --> Elon was bluffing but Twitters Legal team forced him to proceed otherwise the SEC was already looking for blood and an excuse to make his life very difficult for all his previous shenanigans
Reddit --> already downhill since just before Ellen Pao nonetheless may I speculate that perhaps one or more of the larger shareholders/investors forced the current situation but Huffman underestimated and did not realize that the power users and pro bono moderators were entirely dependent on third-party apps.
Moreover, I exclusively used reddit through old.reddit.com I have no idea how current Reddit actually looks like nor do I care as it was unusable.
Sad to see great things go but life continues onward.
