It’s been a week in Kbin for me. I don’t care about that site (Reddit) anymore. I’ve been back twice, and it’s teenage humor at best. I had been there just 3 years, and it felt like I had seen it all. Re-post after re-post.
I’ve left Twitter already. I didn’t leave Facebook or WhatsApp completely because I still have family members posting there, but go there maybe once or twice a month. Reddit, where no one in my immediate network goes, or knows whom I am can go even faster. It was staring to feel like a circle yerk, just like Twitter.
While those communities that are re-opening with those shitposts, ultimately are still benefiting Reddit; there’s one thing they’re accomplishing: They’re driving true content creators to move away from Reddit. And long term, that will give places like Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon a critical mass of attractive content that can tip the balance.
As long as there’s traffic, Reddit profits. And the more infuriating or stupid/funny your content is, the more Reddit profits. Karma farming had already killed the community feeling there. Those who have stayed are more vested in their popularity points, than on a real community. And yes, Reddit and Twitter will survive for those that seek to be popular…but that’s not for many of us anymore.
I think the Fediverse is really where the future lies ahead, and it’s great to see it growing.
I think you messed up some copy-paste reformatting there
I did! Thanks for letting me know. I’ve fixed it…I think.
First paragraph still has two sentences twice, but otherwise I think you're good!
You’re a good person. Thanks for keeping my back.
No problem, that's what internet strangers are for
