Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.

Its on its infancy and remember this is not run by a big corporation its run by volunteers. If you dont like feel free to go back to reddit.

Edit: Hey guys so yeah this comment was too harsh against newcomers to the platform and I would like to apologize.

While you are correct, your tone is quite dismissive and unwelcoming. If it's to be a replacement, it's reliability is relevant. On most of the update posts ive seen, users are generally appreciative of the work done.

Yeah, if it's a roll of the dice whether the platform will be accessible on any day, people will eventually go somewhere else.

But it's the fediverse. I mean, you're still using the platform as we speak.

Still better than dealing with reddit mods
