I’m a first-wave Reddit refugee and I agree, don’t say the fediverse is easy. I’ve been online since the early 90s and it’s not an easy transition. I wish there was a map. I wish it were easier to set up new communities for chatting.
But having been through these cycles (online and IRL) before, I must say that maybe you *don’t* want it to be too easy. You *don’t* want to get too popular.
I hope the Reddit revolt works. I want my niche communities back.

The software should function, yes, but making something too accessible, whether it’s a social website or an underground dance club, changes the quality of the experience. Dilutes it, if it doesn’t outright destroy it.
I would say that Reddit is still a great resource when you get down to the small subreddits devoted to particular topics. That’s why I want to protect it from the meddling of people who only want to milk it for money.
