  • <There needs to be a return to being patient. Most fedi software is not beyond beta yet. They will develop and they will mature but right now the fediverse is a toddler learning to walk. There are issues but with time they’ll get addressed. We’ve all got so addicted to shiny cool apps and services we’ve become prepared to sacrifice our privacy, our choices and our reason at the altar of a quick dopamine hit.>

    This really touches the issue with me. I think I was one of the few in my circle who when on FB or Twitter used the browser on my phone. I rarely use apps unless I have to/need to. On Reddit I have used Bacon reader since 2012 simply because it was the best way for me.

    I started here on the 12th and have really enjoyed it. I just use my mobile browser and have had such a great experience. I have found plenty of communities across instances and everything seems very intuitive. That said, I am old-ish (51) and have been online daily since the mid 90’s.


  • I used to engage on Reddit a lot, then towards the end of 2015, I left. Started a new account in the beginning of 2020 because Twitter became a hot mess and needed something different.

    At first, when I returned, it seemed ok. Started to engage and wasn’t pleased with the results. Been lurking for quite awhile now.

    The last 2 days here have been a breath of fresh air. Feels like reddit 10+ years ago. I have found new communities with ease (using chrome on my phone vs an app) and finally am posting my first comment. I posted an article earlier this morning.
