r/ModCoord has officially recommended migration off of Reddit.

Reply in thread

I spent some time going through any subreddit I liked and joining their Discord or Lemmy.

I found quite a few that didn't mention the blackouts or API changes and I didn't want to cause a ruckus by posting...so I'd like to know too.

Posting this from my Lemmy acct but tbh kbin looks nicer. I have a feeling everyone's waiting till the end of the month to really see what happens with the 3rd party apps and then they'll lock themselves in to either: Discord, Lemmy, Kbin, or stay on Reddit.

The more tech savvy and/or privacy minded subreddits moved to Lemmy communities, at least for the stuff I look at.

What is the benefit to joining private torrents?

Typically you can find content at a higher quality than public trackers. For example, Movie X may be available through 1337x.to at 1080p but may be super compressed/have a lower bitrate.

You could go to a private tracker specializing in movies and find Movie X at 720p but with a higher bitrate so it looks better than the 1080p public.

If you find everything you need on public trackers that's great! I started using private when I couldn't find some foreign content or when I was looking for higher quality content.
