The absolute state of it. Ever since leaving Reddit a couple of years ago, I’ve been on a bit of a tour of other platforms. Except Twitter, wasn’t ever my style in the first place and based on everything I’ve seen in screenshots and conversations about, it would just be one big case of rage bait for me, or blocking everyone I see.

And most of it is just a dumpster fire in some way, the mainstream stuff at least. Good content creators, especially once the algorithm knows. But SO many alt right trolls and transphobes and manosphere drones and preachers trying to save souls making most comment sections no go zones. It’s all just rage inducing.

And after being away from here for a while, I think I have to accept that this platform is probably always going to be more like the forum sites of old than anything close to Reddit. Which is cool but really needs something extra if you want to somewhat in touch with the world. So at this point, I’m honestly interested in this supposed resurrection of MySpace on the horizon.

Honestly not venting, or trying to incite an angry circlejerk in the comments. Just wanted to dump my observations over these last few years somewhere. It’s a sinking ship and looking like the best way forwards is backwards in this case. Back to forums and a MySpace account for friends and not algorithm slop. I’m kinda looking forward to it.
