Many complain that they don’t have alternatives to the evil corporate social media platforms, but that is untrue. The problem is that they simply refuse to use small platforms that require them to support them by posting and commenting because they don’t want to make the effort. Rather than lifting a finger to improve their on-line social experiences, they choose to put up with Reddit instead. Don’t bother shooting the messenger. I am rarely here, because I spend all my time these days on a good small social media platform, so I likely won’t even be able to find your comments when I am here next.

    I registered with piefed.ca to explore a new way of conversing with others and to stay abreast of current events, and to help stop using American sites. I absolutely hate Reddit, had several accounts banned for little to no reason other than I didn’t support their views. Reddit has largely become bot / AI run and the largest contributors of content. Fuck em.

    Deleted my Reddit account about a month ago, after putting in the time to manually delete every comment and post.

    About a month or 2 before deleting my Reddit account, I removed all of my Meta apps (Facebook, Insta, WhatsApp).

    These days, I’m a calmer person overall, I have less daily stress, and feel clearer with my own thoughts and feelings. If you haven’t already, it’s time to move away from the AI psychosis / PsyOp platforms

        That’s my excuse to still having a reddit account lol

        No but actually some of the hobby subs I follow over there I am too lazy to help build here. I’d comment occasionally, just like this, but that’s a far as I go most of the time.
