I run a few groups, like @fediversenews@venera.social, mostly on Friendica. It’s okay, but Friendica resembles Facebook Groups more than Reddit. I also like the moderation options that Lemmy has.

Currently, I’m testing jerboa, which is an Android client for Lemmy. It’s in alpha, has a few hiccups, but it’s coming along nicely.

Personally, I hope the #RedditMigration spurs adoption of more Fediverse server software. And I hope Mastodon users continue to interact with Lemmy and Kbin.

All that said, as a mod of a Reddit community (r/Sizz) I somewhat regret giving Reddit all that content. They have nerve charging so much for API access!

Hopefully, we can build a better version of social media that focuses on protocols, not platforms.

    Not to rain on anyone’s parade but I’d be shocked in reddit hard deletes comments given how valuable that data is.

      It would at least affect people adding ‘reddit’ to google searches if they start to encounter a lot of posts with information they’re looking for edited out.

      If you submit a request under GDPR “right to be forgotten” they are mandated to comply. (As long you are EU citizen)

      Not that GDPR violations are uncommon, but at least it seems the regulators are capable of slapping companies with hefty fines.
