The similarities are amazing, especially considering Reddit was one of the succesors of Digg. They can now enable other successors by making stupid decissions and alienating core users.
I wonder if this speaks to the unsustainability of platforms like these, or the cycle can be broken by making good decissions.
I made some comments over the weekend about moving to kbin.social and the comments were removed. I feel like those of us already over here got out on one of the first escape pods; and now that we’re safe on the new planet, we can likely use some of that excess fuel to bring more refugees in. There’s just a risk of having your comment going to the store to buy a gallon of milk and buy a pack of smokes, or who knows, maybe they’ll start deleting coyote accounts.
