It partially sucks because so much of it is walled into like a dozen sites. It’s convenient for a lot of reasons but we’re starting to see that having our own blog/forum/business site might be for the best even if it takes more effort
Same for where I work. We’ve dramatically redused what we post on social media, and have beefed up our web presence and is starting to build up e-mail lists. The traffic is much more valuable
Two years ago I was hoping the same thing for Mastodon and, to be honest, that’s kind of panning out. I’ve really found some awesome stuff and people that I’m genuinely interested in interacting with.
Between this and reddit going “down” yesterday, the internet just sucks right now.

That’s why Gutenberg invented books
Thats not what he did lol, he invented the printing press.
I’m aware of that but I didn’t want to say “That’s why God invented books” because I’m an atheist
Eh, could just say “they” but I get it.
I suppose I should have thought it through but I’ve been hearing that cliché said a certain way for over 50 years and it kind of sticks with you.
No, the internet is healing. This is a dream come true.
I couldn’t agree more. These platforms have become toxic wastelands. Let them die and let the people create new and better communities
Internet is what you make of it. Plenty of good stuff to find out here. Just leave when you encounter greed.
True. Reddit was just kinda “the place” for a lot of online communities, imo. Hopefully Lemmy can grow into something great.
