It seems that a number of subs with anti-Establishment views have been banned or faced the Reddit censor. I suspect that as /r/WayoftheBern continues to grow on Reddit, that at some point, there is a danger and we could find ourselves removed from Reddit.
With the Saidit not having taken off, we may need to have a backup. There seem to be few users that have migrated and some seem to have difficulties getting in, possibly due to the CloudFlare.
I suspect that other platforms like Discord will probably ban us as well if it took off, but it may be worth exploring alternatives. Another platform that we may want to consider is Telegram.
Let me know your thoughts about this.
Huh? You’re already on Lemmy. Is that not “the backup”? (Or arguably the primary and way forward)
To a degree, but we would need most of our user base to make the jump before we can truly be on Lemmy.
Most users did not move to Saidit, which meant that we were stuck on Reddit.
Well as far as I see this is clearly the established backup as it’s the closest analog to a subreddit. Seems you just need to make that known and convince users to shift over but that’s another issue entirely.
If you want a discord analog then I would direct you to Matrix.
