Let Google be irrelevant. It kind of already is there in the absence of Reddit.
The nerds always blaze a trail when boring old entrenched media ruins good things. In this case the thing being ruined is a search engine that makes the critical mistake of assuming a traditionally "prestigious" .com equates value. Fuck the old establishment, it's time to ditch decrepit big tech and remake the internet the way it was meant to be. It's time to reinvent how we share and discover content.
Embracing the Fediverse now does pretty much feel like "taking back the Internet". It reminds me of the early days and that's an amazing thing. Tired of the over commercialized hellscape the Internet has become over the past decade and a half.
