Is this our new /usenettalk community or the alternative in case reddit implodes? (lemmy.sdf.org)

was just curious if this was going to be the primary location or just preparation in case one day /usenettalk is no longer available? We're not a huge community but I think you (and the other contributors) do important really work as far as the usenet industry. I've not seen any other resources that gives you the kind of granularity and insight on the providers. Very appreciated.

I'm admittedly not from this community but I'd make the argument that you may as well switch to this now because your community will suffer either now or in the future when reddit needs to show more revenue growth. Say what you will about how much the api change actually matter but they at the least show their mentally about their users and platform.

Even though I called it a "plan B" in my post on r/UsenetTalk, I did qualify it with a "or A, if you wish." I did that because I don't truly believe in the idea of a back up community.

A community either exists, or it doesn't.

This Black Friday, I am thinking of making the primary deals post here, with a link from reddit.

I think it's a great call. Reddit has fallen so off course from what is was created for/its original intention, a new community is welcomed (least IMO).

For what it’s worth, I’m not on Reddit and didn’t know that this community had a counterpart over there. Happy to have found it on Lemmy, though
