This is me 100% also. Sync = Reddit for me for many years. The one hand quick scroll and swipe user experience, and the ability to favorite subs without subscribing, are all ingrained into my consumption behavior.

I actually used the Reddit app for nearly a year and still find myself swiping left to close. Whoever in the design team at Reddit must have gotten a memo to be more like TikTok... What a blight upon mankind that app is.

The Fediverse is cool though. It provides a nice fail-safe to quarantine certain communities and content. They can still exist but in case something awful happens, the federated space can be insulated.

Reddit is like Instagram, not Tiktok. Silicon Valley is sharing around the Twitter/Facebook layout since ages now. Tiktok is better than any Silicon Valley atrocity committed upon mankind.
