    Yeah. I can’t help but think Reddit is doing the internet a favour in the long term. The more decentralized and less corporate control the better.

      lol yep it’s funny: Reddit is unironically saving the Internet. It’s become pretty much 3-5 main sites and that’s it. In the 90s I had about a million different forum bookmarks, chat rooms and communities I was a part of. i’m feeling very comfortable having kicked reddit out of my life and gone back to that.
