i know she was on raddle, for a bit, after the reddit api stuff, so she certainly knows of reddit alternatives, and I think she was on mastodon for a time too, but she hasn’t posted there for well over a year now :(
oh, I remember raddle - there was a big controversy because it turned out a single person was orchestrating complex drama and fights between different users that ended up just being a single person, which led to a betrayal of trust for some of the people who were helping host the servers, and there was a big question of whether that space could continue …
I sorta walked away from raddle for a bit after that. It also felt smaller than lemmy (at the time anyway, I think this was before Lemmy was a thing), so I guess they’re not really comparable.
It seems like a lot of people went to Mastodon and then didn’t stick around :-(
Because forced people to pay horrendous prices for their 3rd party API which led to most independent apps and the mod tools the r/traaa mods relied on to not be viable anymore.
This caused a massive protest and exodus which led to a big rise in other plattforms like Lemmy :3
does she know about piefed or lemmy?
I feel like the main online trans communities are still on reddit - not really sure why they haven’t moved off reddit, tbh

Yeah, when r/traaa had to close someone made r/traaa2
do you know why /r/traaa closed?
