More like corporate owned social web.

as new platforms spring up and grow at astonishing rates, I find this hard to take seriously

Reddit is (was) a social network with tens of thousands of communities and only ONE instance. That makes it easy for a small number of arrogant, greedy billionaires to ruin things for everyone.

Lemmy doesn’t make that mistake. By being decentralized, it prevents exactly that sort of thing from happening.

Ok, I don’t agree with everything but it was a interesting discussion and interesting hearing other points of view.

Can’t forget about Twitter right now either. Think YouTube is the only social media right now without any major fuck ups.
