Seriously, what's up with big sites literally dying as we speak? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Reddit was definitely immature and edgy at the time (generic 2010s memes plus dark and shock humor like fatpeoplehate and spacedicks), but it was real people dicking around instead of corporate and bots curating content for maximum engagement, you know?

Yeah I think you're right. A year or so back I just ditched all big subreddits and joined random small ones for a few months at a time, got some of that feeling back. But really reddit has become just another big social media platform and now people visit out of habit instead of out of a feeling of community.
