1 year agoHonestly, it’s really hard to say what will happen. I do think there’s gonna be an exodus from reddit, however it’s hard to say where people will go after that. kbin has been coming up in discussions about reddit alternatives, but same with some of the other federated setups. I’ve been searching for the past week for something that looks/feels like reddit and this is the closest thing so far. I will say, hopefully since it’s going down on a Friday, there might be a lull until Monday before people really start coming in.
I use it because 22 years ago it was more appealing than redhat or Mandrake. It forced me to learn more about Linux because I had to resolve almost everything myself than any other distro. I was using before it had a package manager and honestly after the dependency hell of rpms in 2000s it just seemed more problematic to use one that resolved dependencies than not. Usually I used to and sometimes still use it for a nice base to compile everything on. I dunno. It’s my Linux equivalent to my first car that I loved.
