    The reality for those that have been through the collapse of Digg and now Reddit due to centralized corporate greed: “WE WONT GET FOOLED AGAIN!”

    Decentralized and federated is the future. Hopefully it will be a healthier version of social media.

      For-profit is not the future. Commercial platforms aren’t the future. Advertising-funded services are all doomed to fail eventually Enshitification is inevitable when the fundamental purpose of the site is commerce.

      At least as it is now, fediverse is all cooperative and user-funded. That will be what protects it from going down the same road. Whether it can permanently survive that way I do not know. As soon as any major instance turns to advertising to pay the bills, the entire space is in deep and terrible danger.

      uffda.

      I’ve been on reddit an embarrassingly long time. From before the rapist thread to violentacrez facilitating abhorrent things.

      Lemmy certainly seems less abhorrent and also a bit of a difficult learning curve.

        Maybe the curve will keep the trolls out of here… It’s a bit like using Linux. Almost all people you interact with are nice and intelligent since you need to be a certain kind of personality to even be interested in learning it.

        When something becomes mainstream popular, corporations will stripmine the value and the experience will worsen significantly.

          I’m not necessarily nice, just not a dick.

          Not really intelligent, I just smash my head against the wall until things work.

          But fuck big corporations.
