WE HAD A GOOD THING YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!
We had 3PA's, we had all the free labor in the world, just from passionate people who wanted to share the things they love, we had bots to fight spam, and extremely talented developers who made your stupid website work on mobile. It all ran like clockwork, if you could have just shut your mouth we'd all be fine right now.
But no, you just had to blow it up. YOU, AND YOUR GREED AND YOUR EGO.
Edit: grammar
Venture capital and the centralized big tech Internet needs to finally crash and burn. Federation is a return to form, web forums were the shit until Reddit and Discord swallowed them up and the latter holding info hostage with a login wall and no client freedom
Let's not forget that Discord requires a phone-number.
