Yeah this is the main reason I won’t be giving up reddit 100% once the 3rd party apps go down. I definitely won’t be doom scrolling on my phone like I used to, but I 100% will still use reddit on my desktop as a research tool. There’s just nothing else like it for the amount of quality niche information atm.

I saw how long the list is and got kinda concerned I might miss out on content since I’m on beehaw, but now it just sounds like I’m getting sheltered from all the internet wackjobs lol

One instance might have separate rules than another, so you can use multiple to get around that. Also if one instance gets shutdown for whatever reason you’ll need another instance to browse through.

Generally though, no. One instance is fine and helps keep the system from getting overloaded with users.

I’ve been slowly switching away from google products the past year or so. Switched from chrome to firefox, and google search to duckduckgo, but maps is one I couldn’t give up. It’s just better than all other competitors IMO.

Yeah, it’s a dangerous virus, but not widespread. When I looked into it, it was just a dozen of mods that I’ve never even heard of. Seems like it was caught before any major damage was made.

There are a couple now, but still very small, like 3 posts a day small

Yeah that’s not happening. The tech differences add up to a horrid VR experience. Google cardboard was exactly this project, but it was burned because it was just plain bad. Phones aren’t meant to be glued to your face, but VR headsets are built for it specifically and the difference is immense.

I expect most of the content to be saved at some point before reddit fully dies. Many sites from the early 2000’s no longer exist, but there are backups of forums online all over the place
