Maybe I just miss Reddit is Fun, not Reddit, but I still have RiF installed (I just can't delete it) and it still "works". I can't sign in or participate, but fuck I miss browsing everything. I've definitely replaced it with Kbin, but opening the RiF app just gives me sadness. Fuck spez.

Even then, "being the change you want to see" is futile if the platform itself has tons of issues and doesn't provide incentives for people of all kinds to join and use over other platforms.

It seems like only hardcore Redditors and hip techies pass the filter to discover the Fediverse and thrive on it, which makes certain communities outright impossible to grow. Case and point; the biggest solo RPG mag on the Fediverse has been running for over a year, and 98% of the ~40 posts have been made by a single dude, most of which have zero interactions. Why? Because the Fediverse's demographic has no interest on the topic.

And yeah, gaming stuff always make the keyboard wizards rush out of their towers. ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธ
