Stop using Reddit, problem solved

In favor of what is the problem. In Lemmy half the instances have defederated from half the others.

People use Reddit because there's only one Reddit. Coming to such a center is human nature, while Fediverse architecture is someone's strategy. Changing your strategy is simpler than changing human nature.

If we drop the tech religion part of the subject, NOSTR moderated communities are a very good thing as a global, not per-instance, Reddit alternative. You can clearly see that its core idea is chosen by people who are more confident with human psychology than with tech. And it's good for that very reason. It's an ugly real solution.

Except all clients suck balls and there's nothing to see there yet.

True, the fediverse is poor. But Reddit is the bottom of the barrel in its current state.

Best to waste time watching paint dry to be honest

Is NOSTR any good? I've heard a bit about it but I haven't gotten my feet wet yet.

It works.

Other than that:

Except all clients suck balls and there’s nothing to see there yet.

What? and lose THE MOST EFFECTIVE PROTEST PLATFORM EVER MADE? I couldn't imagine what else we would use to teach corporations and politicians a harsh lesson (insert giant eye rolling emoji)

I lieu of that, I'd say the mods should just go limp. Stop moderating content and let posters run wild. The company needs to realize just how much their business model depends on all that unpaid labor.

I think they realize it but know these mods are addicted to the fake power so they won't go anywhere no matter what
