Like literally these people are all like "FrEe SpEeCh" like dude if you wanna be a Nazi go be a Nazi I'm not gonna stop you but I'm definitely not gonna support you in it. You will get a hearty kick to the nuts if you approach me with it but like you do you
I thought it would be a really hard shift since I used reddit so much. The more I go between them, the more I realize reddit is just another forum website - it's not even a really good one, either!
This change has been super helpful for me to learn not to get so attached to stuff. The people here are the same as the people there and the stuff I post can go anywhere I want it to, there's nothing extra special about reddit. It's super freeing!
Fun fact! I'm actually talking to them about it rn, I'm one of the transcribers and there's been discussions on what to do. From what I'm hearing, they're considering it, but they aren't entirely sure about the fediverse or how it works so setting up something the way ToR was run (which was surprisingly sophisticated, with a curated list of different posts to transcribe that would automatically update on progress across reddit) will take some time.
In the meantime I'm looking around rn for any communities here that could use a rogue transcriber to add some transcriptions to some of the posts. I want to try to help blind/VI users feel welcome here best I can. If you have any directions to point me in, please do, because idrk how the fediverse works at all, but it has markdown on mobile so I should easily be able to get some done.
