Fantastic article, thanks for sharing! I had a hard time trying to figure out how to reply to you since we're on different domains, but I found a reply button in my message notifications... The pains of learning a new platform!
I'm excited to read some more articles from Pluralistic :)
Man, I was just posting how I feel like we're losing all of our core media social platforms... It's hard for me to not feel like there's some level of orchestration going on
Totally agree with that. I was just checking my Reddit account and it looks like I signed up in 2011, so I'm not sure how much things changed in those first few years, but I love how this site reminds me of the original reddit I knew
Totally agree. My reddit account is 12 years old, and I was only just now starting to gain confidence that there would already be a sprawling community for a new topic I found. I know it will take a long time to get that feeling again, but it's also refreshing to see the fantastic discussions on this platform.
It's insane the rate that we're losing our core social media platforms. I'm off of Facebook, Twitter, and now Reddit... I'm really hoping that this community will help me fill those voids :)
Man, it's so satisfying to watch all of these subreddits switch to green. I really wish more of them committed to an indefinite shutdown though.
Hello everyone! The mod queue only took a few minutes tonight and I'm very happy to be here! Excited to chat more with you all :)
I wasn't too big of a participant in the internet during those years, I'm excited to be able to start growing my list of platforms
