A great read on what’s happening to the social platforms around us.

    “ Even the most locked-in user eventually reaches a breaking-point and walks away, or gets pushed.”

    Bang on. This is why I’m here (and lots of others now), because Reddit is enshitifying.

    Also, this is a dope sentence: “ The emphasis of lawmakers and policymakers shouldn’t be preserving the crepuscular senescence of dying platforms.”

    I had to look up the big words but they made my day.

      I’ve been here for a couple of days now and it seems like this could actually replace Reddit fairly soon. We don’t need the vast majority of Reddit users here to be good. We only need a small fraction and that’s likely going to be the fraction that’s on the more thinking side of the spectrum.
