we have to take the steps to not use their platform, or better yet, start a Fediverse server of their own.
I was able to do it myself! the cost of running a Lemmy and Mastodon instance for myself is so cheap... I'm actually shocked more people aren't doing it!
I mean what for? It costs even less to use an existing Lemmy or Mastodon server given the minimal load you add.
@Carighan cause I don't have to play by someone elses rules if they decide to change them when they want.
the Reddit API situation opened my eyes. I pay less than 20 bucks a month and host my family and friends, worth it 🙂
