It's a real shame that Reddit seems to care this little about the community that rather than making an effort to talk to developers and moderators and apologize for how this was handled, they'd rather just wall themselves off and and dare users to keep going. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759559/reddit-internal-memo-api-pricing-changes-steve-huffman
No one is asking Reddit for the moon and the stars, just to listen to small changes.
Even Twitch, which made horrendous moves this month, recognized that the community is what gives their company any value at all, and responded in some capacity to make their users feel heard.
I guess the difference is that Twitch creators can jump ship to YouTube or the like and take a lot of money with them, while the value of Reddit users is alot more abstract.
@kylemsguy Are there any reddit alternatives? There's plenty of livestreaming platforms
@rexfeng @kylemsguy fedia.io is trying to take advantage of the opportunity
@DeepSpaceFine @rexfeng @kylemsguy is there a difference in kbin and fedia.io or is it the same content due to the "fediverse" only trying to learn
@cities @DeepSpaceFine @rexfeng @kylemsguy Fedia is instance of kbin. It's the same content as on all kbin servers. And not even only kbin, but you can interact with that content and users srraight from Mastodon due to fediverse.
@rexfeng @kylemsguy #kbin ! kbin is an open source decentralized redditish platform. https://kbin.social is the "official" instance.
@capra @rexfeng @kylemsguy Can you link your k.bin and mastadon accounts? I'm still figuring this all out -___-'
@rexfeng @kylemsguy Both kbin and Lemmy
@warling @rexfeng @kylemsguy And in addition, it’s not an either/or choice. They’re both written to ActivityPub, so they interoperate.
@rexfeng @kylemsguy Can't Mastodon be the Reddit alternative?
@gkdiva @rexfeng @kylemsguy mastodon is a twitter alternative?
@gkdiva @rexfeng @kylemsguy yeah I wish it was, the layout is more twitter though right, not as nice for content in my opinion. Still looking for the replacement though.
@AlpacaKing
To be brunt, you'll probably won't find it. Twitter was a unique experience (well, still is, just the wrong(-er) way). Mastodon, and Fediverse overall, are built about different philosophies at the core.
For Twitter it is profit and you are the product. For Fedi it's being open, in multitude of ways, and having a moderation.
@AlpacaKing @gkdiva @rexfeng @kylemsguy on Reddit you subscribe to topics and see content related to the topic by users. On Twitter you subscribe to people and see variyes content based on the whims of the person. Topic vs personality.
@LukeTheYeti @AlpacaKing @gkdiva @rexfeng @kylemsguy
Explains why I hate Twiddle. Even before its Muskification.
ArmUkraine@gkdiva @rexfeng @kylemsguy #lemmy and #kbin are far better suited as a Reddit replacement. The improvements are coming quickly! #fediverse ftw
@runedancetwo Just Lemmy so far!
@runedancetwo @Grant_M I've been using #kbin for the past few days and I enjoy it so far. Good times with some good people!
I think about 100,000 redittors have joined mastodon fediverse etc al. As of yesterday morning.
@rexfeng @kylemsguy Lemmy or kbin 
I think kbin.social is the current best choice for an alterantive. It has a compact mode that works exactly like old Reddit and is federated.
@rexfeng @kylemsguy At the risk of sounding really out of date, my immediate thought was InvisionFree boards...though from what I can tell, they went through a Geocities-like migration to another forums platform?
Either way, while it might not be an 100% great replacement, I'm pretty sure free forum hosting/software still exists that could be spun up to take on at least individual Reddit communities. Migration might be difficult, but...
@rexfeng
Try Lemmy. A lot of activity lately and a great platform. Couldn't recommend enough.
