I see a lot of posts on fediverse trashing reddit, Twitter, spez, musk and so on, and rightfully so. But like it or not, the mass majority of users on the internet still use these sites, and some of us still want to interact with the friends and communities we are a part of on those sites. And there’s nothing wrong with that either.

Personally, I want fediverse to grow, and I post on kbin and mastodon constantly, and try to grow the communities on them. But I still pop over to reddit for r/splatoon, r/casualconveration, and my hometown sub, because either the communities haven’t grown enough here yet for constant fresh content, or the content is different enough between both to justify me checking in.

I get many are here as a protest against reddit, Twitter, or where ever else you came from, and that’s valid. But there are many of us who are simply casual users who want to include fediverse into their drives of other social media, and that’s totally fine too.

    Yeah my mobile has Memmy and Surfboard for Tildes; between the two I get my doom scroll fix. I have almost never used reddit without RES on the desktop but Ill still browse probably once a day between my feeds and /all for a great deal less than I used to.

      Ahh I keep forgetting about Tildes, I hate the PC experience but I have surfboard installed, which is much better. It’s a decent place, I just haven’t totally clicked with it yet.
