"They need us. We don't need them:" The fall of Twitter is making the trolls and grifters desperate

Jump

  • Imo it's because sites like reddit make communities too open. It's common knowledge that once a sub regularly makes it to r/all, it loses all identity and joins the vague soup of r/all content which everyone upvotes with no regard for the source.

    A lot of people don't want one big page with all the biggest communities thrown together. They just want to follow what they like and nothing else.

    That said, the chat room format of discord is a pretty awkward stand-in for a forum type of community.

    • Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?

  • I've been on Reddit since 2012, but I haven't quite quit Reddit completely. It fills the same role as twitter now, where I go there to interact with specific communities but never scroll through the front page any more.

  • Imo continuing to use reddit is a lot better than using Facebook. As many issues as you may have with Reddit as a company, Meta is far worse.

  • 6 weeks? I thought everyone left that dumpster fire 8 years ago

    • CHROME (google) is planing to implement DRM (kinda) into their browser

  • Also doesn't help that half the people supposedly in charge of cracking down on this kind of thing in the US belong in an old folks home. Most of them don't even comprehend the issue.

    I'm surprised I haven't heard any pushback on it from the EU though.

    • 0.24.0: Mark read on scroll, Android mode, and more!

  • I'm sticking to the apple mode for now rather than switching to a beta style with some font issues to work through, but I'm looking forward to seeing it in a few more iterations!
