“ 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.
I've personally noticed a massive difference from the communication here vs Reddit...it's great here. It gives IRC vibes from back in the day with being able to actually have discussions that don't devolve into slander/abuse for literally no reason. Much better here, for now. I say for now as nothing remains good once it gains popularity. Reddit was great too, then Facebook started melting and the masses migrated..
The communication on here is great right now, I agree. I joined Reddit in 2013 and the current situation kind of reminds me how it was there at that time.
