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?

What's happening with Twitch? I haven't heard anything.


The post title implies it were prevalent. Which it is not. Three platforms is not a lot overall.

The reasons between Twitter and Reddit are very different.

Twitter was fine. It's on a single Person - Elon Musk - who bought Twitter. All changes after it were through them.

Reddit became a big platform. Now it's run not by a small team but by a big company with management and CEO. Supposedly targeting going public, and probably focusing no longer on usefulness and the service but on profitability and growth. An inherently, broadly, and very different mindset and goals.
