- Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
- Support the hosts with our own funds.
- Moderate our own communities.
The second point is the most important. Reddit happened because they are a corporate entity seeking profit. Let’s own our social media platforms by actively contributing funds to them.
I’m on Lemmy.world and just moved my Mastodon account to Mastodon.world. Both run by Ruud!
So now my Patreon donation goes to the same dev for all my social media needs. Pretty sweet!
