I’m sick of the internet being 5 sites with all traffic channeled through them and maximum profit in the minds of the greedy corporate sociopaths that run them, it feels as intimate as an airport. I miss the days of niche forums and chat rooms where you could become a regular and build close relationships with the other regulars.
Death? Don’t get ahead of yourself. I doubt reddit is going anywhere, it just helped this place catch some wind.
my theory excactly. I doubt reddit will die anytime soon, but maybe lemmy could be something different with niche but interesting things and posts. Right now i like lemmy for what it is and am exploring it a bit.
