    This is not to try to improve the “product”, this is just a set of tools to overcome the chicken-and-egg problem and eventually give an easy way for people to migrate away from Reddit.

    One of the things that I am hoping to add soon is a keybase-style system to authenticate users on reddit by sending a DM with a secret. This would let any user to take control of their “mirror bot” and effectively give them an account on the fediverse with the communities and content they already are used to follow.

        In simple terms: my goal is to build a system that can help people jump off from reddit by making it as frictionless as possible. We can have a system where we transport their accounts, history, communities and conversations to the fediverse all while we smooth out the issues with the existing software.
