I hope the death of reddit gives rise to a more decentralised internet. (lemmy.world)

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.

Death? Don't get ahead of yourself. I doubt reddit is going anywhere, it just helped this place catch some wind.

my theory excactly. I doubt reddit will die anytime soon, but maybe lemmy could be something different with niche but interesting things and posts. Right now i like lemmy for what it is and am exploring it a bit.

With reddit moving towards mainstream users, I see lemmy becoming the smaller, more "interesting" technical and niche option, like reddit used to be.

i hope this comes true and stays as is for a while. I wasn’t around in the early days of reddit, so here I am, watching and learning to see another great community platform grow.

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...
