You beat me to it

Lemmy, and I’m never going back. I just wish we had the abundance of content that Reddit does. There’s a lot of communities I miss.

RSS is amazing. Recently started using it with the Nextcloud News app. Turns out I’ve really been missing out on the possibilities.

How it feels to never have had anyone in my life that I could just randomly call up and talk about happy and sad things with.

Tbh for me the third party client thing was just the cherry on top of the constant barrage of corpo fuckery in general, plus the knowledge of reddit’s IPO and inevitable decline with the way things were headed for a while.

I’m already balls deep in FOSS and started dipping my toes into the fediverse as a whole, so switching off Reddit for me didn’t hurt in the slightest. It felt good. All spez did was give me the reason I was looking for to finally pull the trigger.

The Eye of Sauron

Data hoarding and self-hosting every service under the sun.

Spotify. I’ve wanted to use Funkwhale since it’s self-hosted and federated but I couldn’t give up all that Spotify offers.

Signal. I refuse to use whatsapp even though that’s what most people I know use.

Reddit showed their hand and I’m just done with all these corpos. Reddit is my last hold out and I’m slowly leaving that too. I’m moving to the decentralized FOSS future that I believe in where we the people have the power.
