This is great news. Algorithm optimized social networks are poison to society.

I’m itching so hard to block both.

Supporting both is in order. As one is pointless without the other

A design that scales. Forwarding every like, post and comment to all federated servers will not scale well.

Mastodon exists. It’s pretty good. Using 2 apps is fine.

Fuck Reddit. I’m here now and it’s great.

In retrospect, I’m really glad all of this shit with Reddit happened and lemmy became a thing in my life. Was bummed initially when Apollo died, but now despite needed polish in lemmy apps, the experience here is much much better and I would never go back.

OP is correct. We have very little to to gain and everything to lose.
