Reddit is a shitty web consolidation play that helped kill the internet. They rolled up a sea of phpbb and somehow made it worse.

Mastodon’s model is fine because there’s no gate to most communities. “Honest communication” is usually a term describing something noxious, but the beauty of mastodon is that if a right wing billionaire with mental problems takes over the server, you can just move.
