- Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
- Support the hosts with our own funds.
- Moderate our own communities.
The second point is the most important. Reddit happened because they are a corporate entity seeking profit. Let’s own our social media platforms by actively contributing funds to them.
But then the centralised service becomes a single point of failure. If you attack that one service, all instances lose their funding.
I can see that being an issue and a flaw. I think if everybody focuses on a solution, we can surely do something about it.
