Reddit needs you to participate, to continue having a platform for their destructive disinformation and societal manipulation. They need you not to participate in other social medias, which would encourage those competing platforms.

Reddit's current life-line is tricking people who hate the place to keep coming back like a battered woman. Break the cycle. Leave, never go back, and use an alternative platform.

I wish it were that easy. There are so many subs that don't have an equivalent community online anywhere, not even close. You have to hunt just to find comparable communities that are barely clinging on for dear life

You have to help support an alternative community, otherwise people will continue to go to the abusive Reddit community, due to lack of suitable alternative. For the change to happen, you must BE the change; stop supporting the abusive community or the community on the abusive platform and purposely support the alternative community on the alternative platform.

Yeah I'm working on finding alternatives, I'm slowly migrating my activity as and when I find alternatives for subs there. Just a shame Saidit doesn't have nearly as many active users to make a lot of subs even possible here. Like I created a new sun s/raves to take the place of r/aves which has over 100k members, I think I'll be lucky to get 10 members on it 😂
