Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

I think old school internet folks are underestimating just how much of a grip Big Tech has on users’ attention.l, and their devices.

With all sincerity this is fine. Seriously, let’s leave it this way.

As someone who was already around when Eternal September happened the Internet was never for normies and inviting them into the space has destroyed it. Everything that attracts the attention of normies ends up ruined; MySpace, Digg, Reddit, Facebook, Slashdot and so very many more…they are all trashed because when they attracted enough users the commercialization started.

So maybe lets just leave the Fediverse for those “in the know” as long as we can.
