Absolutely agree. I totally get the idea of federated content and letting people make their own decisions, but the higher the barrier of entry, the less mainstream the fediverse will be. Especially right now, people are going to want an easy replacement for reddit, not learn a fundamentally new system that is still in the early adoption phase by tech people.

Thought about it, but I never really posted at all so there’s not much to poison. I may end up running a script that edits all of my comments to something redirecting them here, but Idk if I have the motivation to do so anytime soon.

Yeah, literally un-installed RIF the moment I heard about reddit bs. RIF was reddit to me, so I’m done with that now. Pretty much the only time I open that site now is when I Google “whatever whatever reddit” to find actually useful answers.

You sure you didn’t just have a fever dream?
