This subreddit was about following whether a subreddit has been banned, quarantined, or went private.

    I don’t know, that comparison kinda humanizes a corporation that is very much looking to go public and make itself valuable to shareholders. I don’t like to think of these websites as “friends”.

    Yes, reddit’s a tragic shitshow, but there is absolutely no guarantee the same won’t happen on any fediverse instance either. We should always look out to jump ship if we start to notice like a website is sacrificing user wishes for personal gain.

      How about Reddit is like that friend that decided to start a pyramid scheme but it didn’t work out and they have now become that friend you had in high school that started doing drugs and went into a downward spiral. Now you hear news about them every now and then and it’s just sad.

      Is that better?

      The good thing about Fediverse is that you can divorce instances, and even run your own so that other people who use it can get mad at your policies.
