I don’t think so, for the moment at least.

Why? Because it’s me! Hi! I’m the lazy casual Reddit user you guys have mentioned a couple of times!

I have basically only come here because I smell blood in the water, and I’m really annoyed by some of my favorite subs still being privated. But at the same time I recognize that what that sack of human waste at the head of Reddit is doing rn is enforcing a dictatorship.

This site for now is, at least compared to many other mainstream social networks, very rough and unintuitive. And this really doesn’t help to grow the number of potential users, considering the overwhelming majority of people using social network nowadays is 10 times even more casual than I am

But, there’s a butt. This change from Reddit to the Fediverse is necessary. Maybe not now or in six months, but I can already see myself relieved in the future because I had already started dipping my toes in other sites.

Also while I’m not an expert I recognize the technical advantages offered by the Fediverse compared to Reddit, all thanks to a devoted and positive community.

Time will tell, but for now I’ll openly admit to play both sides
