I don't want to be "this guy", but what we have here is a screenshot of a Tweet post without even a link or a date. It's the best way to go back to the same old system that we have left behind us. This is whitepeopletwitter in a nutshell.
Edit, seriously it looks like you framed a "motivation speech". Just post the link to the text, don't screenshot a text, we cannot do anything with it. We have the tools now, use them
I mean, did they steal it? Or did people largely willingly give it away? People willingly left the older decentralized platforms in favor of centralized corporate platforms because, for one reason or another, they felt it was a better use of their time. The old-school forums weren't killed; people stopped using them and left for Reddit and Facebook and Instagram etc.
If we want to reverse this, we need to understand why this happened, what those service provided that lured people, and how we can build better alternatives, and I think there's more to this than just "corporation bad".
Edit: Downvote if you like, but I'd much prefer an actual response, because I think there is an interesting conversation to be had about this.
Definitely agree with the sentiment in the comment.
Though, how ironic is it that this post might as well have been generated by a bot?
Literally a screenshot of a comment without attribution and with an account 2 hours old...
To all the folks saying that reddit couldn't replace the mods, that it was too big an effort, that they couldn't run a big sub all by themselves, I have only one thing to say to you.
They stole the internet from the people and we have to take it back (media.kbin.social)
