First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

Hah! Are we so inured to the death march towards dystopia that it is surreal when something good happens? All of these large social media sites are privacy hating monopolies that actively disrespect their members and misuse their information.
They should die. Let them. We should celebrate!
I’m honestly excited about this reboot. I hope more people will realize that reddit admins and the platform Reddit Inc. is not the same site you signed up for back in 2008. It’s a corporate entity that must make profit—which means getting rid of unprofitable means of accessing content they want to gatekeep. No thanks.
It is funny because I remember talking to someone way back who was complaining about all the changes Reddit was going through, and that the new CEO sucked and the censorship was destroying the quality of Reddit. I guess everyone knew it sucked back then, and it just continued to suck even more with each passing year.
Agreed. I’ve gotten increasingly worried that the web has consolidated more and more. I’m actually very surprised to see some traction for new sites (especially the fediverse). I’m hoping more of the big internet companies trash their established positions and hopefully help inject some newer life into the internet
Oh, if only I could get past my cynicism that any large company will ever do anything decent and make something that benefits people without eventually fucking everything over.
