Yeah, neither have killed Twitter or displaced it enough to affect real change, but they are nice despite — or perhaps because of — being smaller. Like Lemmy, in fact. I don’t know if being here hurts Reddit. I hope so. But more importantly I like it better in these places even if it fails to disrupt the fortunes of greedy assholes.

But the next time something happens to disrupt Twitter or Reddit, alternatives are available and will attracts few more people away. Over time… who knows. Maybe some real change will happen by accident.
