Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I’m out, I think.

    I migrated 3 times this month. From world to blahaj (that one missing downvotes) to piefied.

    I’m kinda done with this “fediverse” thing to be honest. It’s cool and all that you can “just create own instance if you don’t like it”, but that like linux — we have shit load of distros and none of them work.

      I am sorry that you are having such a hard time finding your way here. Fwiw initial migrations are common and relatively easy as you first find your way, and the vast majority of people here will tell the same story.

      If you want to try just one more, PieFed.zip or Lemmy.zip (run by the same people) are the usual default instances to recommend to people these days. The latter would not be directly affected by it at all and the former could in theory except they’ve stated that they will reject this particular setting and disable it. They are SUPERB general-purpose instances if you aren’t looking for anything particularly specific. (Personally I’m a little put off by the usage of the .zip suffix as it has ties to Google, but realize that I’m probably both over- and under-thinking that, so please ignore my paranoia:-P)

      Tbh, your choice of 3rd party app has a much greater impact on your experiences here than anything else. I don’t have much experience with those but do like Voyager - in fact I’m typing this in Voyager now. Perhaps give it a try?:-) It works with both Lemmy and PieFed so kinda doesn’t matter which of those two that you choose.

      No ads!! People are nicer here!! Well, some are dicks as always but far less often than Reddit, it feels like. I hope you find a reason to stay. At least, I hope that this internal drama isn’t the reason that you decide to go - we argue bc we care about it. Be advised that the often-spoken secret to getting along in the Threadiverse/Fediverse is: block early, block often! On Reddit that has no chance of actually working, outside of small niche communities, but this is a small enough space that it ACTUALLY WORKS. Btw you can export and import your block lists as you migrate accounts, if you want to do so.
