Wait, can you explain this a bit more? I'm not the most tech savvy, but I'm reading this as things like automod and gandolf bot all being gone - the former being potentially worse? (No hate to LOTR fans, of course!)

Your reply made me realize returning to the thread is a little clunky, too. I'm chalking that more up to me learning how to use the app, though:)
It's not just about learning the new interfaces...I've used the new site design and have heard the official app is just as bad about shoving ads down our throats. Baconreader made ads at least fairly unobtrusive, but with all the drama I've decided: fuck it. I appreciate Lemmy and other decentralized options for being user-funded rather than reliant on corporations
Omg a chiefs fan here already!? MAHOMIE!! I'm not the best content creator for the topic but I'll def join and go up vote everything!!
Add comment sorting options, too! Think that about sums up the difference between baconreader and jerboa for me:)
I've been growing weary of these centralized platforms selling off my info. It's dangerous to have that much power as we've seen with election interferences. I'm working to switch over to here from reddit and mastodon from Twitter (I didn't really use Twitter anyway, but mastodon does have npr and other news media). Might as well tbh
The comment section is similar to baconreader, too. I'm trying to adjust to opening up jerboa instead but giving myself until the end of the month to uninstall
Idk what's going on, I just know I'm ready for open source options. I'm signed up here and mastodon now and plan to use the duration of the reddit strike to learn more about these platforms, delete my activity on others, and slowly build communities so I'm not reliant on others for news and learning.
I don't think it's too difficult to figure out. Seems more like a matter of shifting activity to keep people engaged. I'm far from tech literate, though.
Yep, that's how lots of strikes are organized. Start with the initial demands, give a timeframe, and if unaddressed escalate further
