I’m sick of the internet being 5 sites with all traffic channeled through them and maximum profit in the minds of the greedy corporate sociopaths that run them, it feels as intimate as an airport. I miss the days of niche forums and chat rooms where you could become a regular and build close relationships with the other regulars.
it won’t die, but it will probably change dramatically if mods are willing to stick to their guns and find somewhere else to moderate. which is a big if, but still. if r/videos can do it…
