I don’t understand what’s the problem with Reddit. What do people expect from using a proprietary centralized platform?

The problem is that people (foolishly, true) invested their lives into a proprietary platform (I participate a lot in https://www.reddit.com/r/HPfanfiction/ for example) and there isn’t a real alternative for them. Yes, I participate in https://lemmy.world/c/hpfanfiction, but unfortunately is outside (disgusting) politics and computer-related stuff completely dead. Perhaps, not yet alive, but I have my doubts.

Indeed, there is a lack of “real” alternatives. The problem is though, in many cases, not that alternatives do not exist but that almost nobody is using them. Why? Because people don’t care. And then they get what they deserve. Sadly, others are hit often too.
Nothing new in the human history. Acknowledging the core of the problem is in ourselves rather than elsewhere could be a good first step towards remedy.
