Twitter, Reddit and Discord are simultaneously going to shit - because enshittification is what happens when suddenly money isn’t free any more and borrowing carries an interest rate
The fediverse is not very well connected suburbs, good for what it is but doesn’t do the same job
bsky is gonna do its own fediverse (with beer and shitcoins) and it’s fun right now as a single instance with good users, but the staff are the sort of barely-crypto-reactionary free speech warriors who will never block the nazi instances
[youth pastor voice] you know, there’s someone else who talked about the tendency of the rate of profit to fall
EDIT: to clarify: Discord is ticking along for now, but they hired some ex-Facebook execs, employees are in revolt and the org is hollowing out. hence (a) bad decisions (b) glitching https://archive.is/fI3hq
Agreed! Discord is a stream of thought conversational platform. Even while there may be “topics”, they’re moreso just to categorize the (mostly) noise of the platform. It’s similar to twitter in that regard, but very dissimilar from other social media in that it prioritizes direct one-to-one interaction over the broad dissemination of information.
I hope Discord gets their shit together, but as is, I’d have left already if it wasn’t for social ties.
