Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
Support the hosts with our own funds.
Moderate our own communities.

The second point is the most important. Reddit happened because they are a corporate entity seeking profit. Let's own our social media platforms by actively contributing funds to them.

As someone who never got to experience the web as so many remember it (before it became centralized and primarily monetized), I'm quite excited at the prospect of Lemmy and the Fediverse in general. Maybe my generation and those to come can come to know a better internet.
