So where do you go for tech advice, niche hobbies and obscure activities?

I go here. If there isn't the right sub yet, I make it, start advertising it on Reddit.

After Reddit closed the API so that spez could get his 100+ million bonus, yet I no longer was allowed to use my RedditIsFun app, it was game over for me. I deleted 13+ years of thousands of my posts and replies, 150K karma, fuck it, don't care, not leaving that so an sociopath can enrich himself

I umderstand your reasoning and I sure hope the fediverse will succeed. I doubt the normies will come over any time soon, but that is not really a bad thing. What is bad tho, is the fragmentation of data over so many instances, duplicate communities not knowing about each other and the censorship some instances apply. I don't even know how some of these will get fixed or if they will ever, as they are core part of a decentralized architecture. I miss infinity tho, eternity for lemmy worked for a while but it's no longer maintained :(

I think it's an imperfect solution for an imperfect world. Centralized systems just censor your talnthey don't like and you're done. This does open the door for extremist instances, but what's the alternative?
