    Just a few years ago…even a year ago…I would have thought that was it, the internet has agglomerated around these few sites: Twitter, Facebook, Reddit.

    And then do to mismanagement, the owners of these sites have created an opening for competition.

    I’d never heard of Mastodon until Elon bought Twitter. I’d never heard I’d Lemmy of kbin until Spez decided to shut down the 3PAs.

    These “innovators” are falling into the same traps of as the ghosts of the past. Napster existed because the record industry tries to stop the future, and stop the consumers from getting what they wanted.

    It’s a new day for the internet.

        I don’t understand the use of “to be fair” in this context… I don’t think OP was being unfair… I’m probably being pedantic or maybe not enough coffee yet…
