1. Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
  2. Support the hosts with our own funds.
  3. 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.

    When you say karma, do you mean having visible post/comment scores or visible total user scores - or both?

    I can see the argument against visible post scores as it can lead to dogpiling, but I do think it can provide a valuable indication for what the community consensus is around that post.

    Regarding total user scores, I don’t see the harm at all.

    Personally, I quite liked the feedback karma gave on Reddit.
