The funny thing about dinosaurs is, some of them evolved into something what that could withstand the climate. It’s just a matter of time before more alternatives come about. Some will be better, but my bet is the majority that people will flock to will have just as much censorship and they’ll just accept it. If you give people the illusion of freedom but restrict them they’ll have no idea.
Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

Indeed, especially since both (Reddit more than Discord admittedly) give out blanket bans on a whim and that means being blocked off from the modern internet, the stakes are too damn high.
Though what do they mean “Disappearing”, isn’t this like pulling the alarm because you just learned “There’s not that many dinosaurs left”

Yep…As someone who got banned from reddit, reddit and discord absorbing the entire internet like a tumor is really not helping my will to live.

When I was banned from Reddit I was devestated, thankfully I’ve come to see it as a blessing in disguise since I’m on lemmy now.
I didn’t have friends on Reddit, I do on Discord though, so if Discord became ban happy I doubt I’d reach the same conclusion

Would your friends stay exclusively on Discord if they would ban you?
I’d imagine they would be ready to join another platform to stay in touch with you. And I don’t mean that they’ll immediately stop using Discord completely but use both simultaneously.

It’s not being abandoned by my friends, it’s not having a way to explain the situation. That’s why I’ve made sure most of them add me on Telegram and Steam
