People say it feels like old reddit and it does to a degree, but in other ways it feels better!
People are so interested in finding alternatives to the systems that we hate, and actually are passionate about supporting those things and developing them into useable and enjoyable platforms.
People are interested in spreading the word about the importance of unions and the climate crisis. Idk if those posts just get squashed on reddit, but I’ve seen SO much more talk of workers rights and informing others about them.
It just gives me hope about the future for once. Like things are happening that are different, and I know that we can’t be silenced here. This is a platform by the people, for the people, and that can’t ever be fully taken away.
Yep, it’s certainly easier to actually get a response that sounds like it came from a human. I’m also seeing so many more links to interesting, niche articles and blogs. Especially on the smaller communities, people are posting substacks and blogs from some pretty alt-culture or radical thinkers. That stuff would definitely be drowned out on Reddit for whatever the top gotcha on Twitter was that day.
