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?

Big sites have made surfing the web so boring. I will end up spending the day on 2-3 sites. All this shake up will hopefully force me to look at more websites again.

You are right actually. I just find myself reloading reddit and the guardian. But the reason for that is that it's hard to find good sites that have constantly updating and changing content. I will try my luck on the fediverse but I'm bummed about it. I hope I find some good stuff here.

Agreed. I really miss stuff like StumbleUpon and Google Reader which were my mainstays before Reddit.

It's up to us to make the web/Internet not boring again. There are many ways to do so:

Participating in the Fediverse
Building your own web page and adding it to a webring
Using alternative protocols, namely gopher, gemini, IRC, NNTP
Using alternative search engines (wiby, marginalia, etc)
Bulletin board systems

I just got into gemini! Sorta, just have a gemlog on gemlog.blue. I have to remember the early internet days where you just had to go from link to link to find interesting pages and check them again at my own will, but it is a nice little break from the everything that is the modern internet.
