This is cool. /r/blind which is heavily affected by 's bullshit has created their own instance instead of using a existing instance and creating a community there.

Really proud of them - rblind.com/

rblind.comRBlind - A community on Lemmy, brought to you by the moderators of the /r/blind subreddit.

After everything that’s happened, we wanted more control over our own api and interface. What if we just set up a community somewhere else and then they added an inaccessible captcha? This way we can run our instance to suit ourselves, but still interact with communities in other instances.

@fastfinge Absolutely. It's the best case scenario for your community.

It shouldn't have come to this in the first place though, but Reddit's handling of this situation has been abysmal.

I hope your community can transition quickly and efficiently to the Fediverse and make it bigger and better than before :)

Open protocols mean that while this is going to be a painful transition over the next couple months, we have the potential to end up better off than we were before. While the phrase "no pain no gain" is generally toxic, in this case it seems to be somewhat true.

@padraig @main that's super cool! Hello and welcome to fedi!

@padraig @main
