Well, we have our ace in the hole! When people get sick of being advertised at, move them to the Mastodon client, or Jerboa, or Artemis - no ads, no tracking (unless you keep using Meta's servers).

My habits on Reddit were to upvote if I liked it, ignore most of it, downvotes I mostly reserved for people being toxic.

I can't create an account on Beehaw, I'm posting from infosec.pub.

When I try to create an account or to login, I just get a spinny, and it leaves me hanging there.

What do I need to do to create an account?

I get the feeling Jack Smith is waiting for Cannon to do something egregious, and will appeal it in a New York second if she tries anything.

Hi, my name is meldroc, and I'm a Reddit refugee.

Currently, I work for a brewery doing GIS work - making maps that help sell beer. I'm in my 40s, in the LGBTQIA community, enjoy reading, gaming, retrocomputing, technology, dogs & cats...

Yep. I think the community that comes after Reddit needs to be under the umbrella of a nonprofit, whose mission in life is to keep the community alive, fundraise for resources, keep a moderation system in place to keep out difficult people, etc. Nonprofit because while a for-profit business is required by law to maximize profits for owners & shareholders, a nonprofit is required by law to do the beneficial thing for the community.

Well, they can't have the Wicked Witch of the Western Slope acting out in the war room, can they?
