With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready? (piefed.social)

With previous Rexit's like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.

What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

Yeah IMO getting popular ruined reddit.

The upvote/downvote system destroys communities over time. It's only a matter of time, not if it will happen.

for big communities, we can sort by New Comments instead, Reddit doesn't have that

I like switching between Subscribed+Scaled to see stuff from my smaller communities, then Subscribed+New Comments to see the active stuff
