There is finally a decent alternative to reddit, after one has been needed for years? And it’s open source federated software?? AND I can sign up on an instance that supports free sharing of media?!
I have been waiting a long time for reddit to fuck up badly enough that something else could fill the vacuum they created and do it right. Awesome.
I think it makes the system more robust. And it significantly lowers the financial burden for someone to host an instance.
