Oooh, bring slashdot back too.
Slashdot is still around and has been for a while
All the progressives left and it’s just libertarians now.
Kevin Rose is a huge turd
He looks like one.
No thanks, people hop from centralized platform to centralized platform thinking things will be different.
Consolidated power, especially when fully captured by market forces, will always enshitify, the only out is federation.
I rememeber leaving Digg.
And Kevin Rose was the killer the first time.
I joined Reddit originally because Digg fuckin’ sucked lol
Reddit used to be good, now its just another app nag whore.
- Find new niche media
- Enjoy
- More people join
- Media changes
- More people = more context = wider viewpoints = more infighting
- Media changes too much
- Look for alternatives
- Find new niche media
- Enjoy
- More people join…
I would append to #5: “= more ad revenue = more bending over for shareholders”
- Media changes too much because of enshitification.
Regular users are not the problem, for the most part, assuming decent moderation.
Massive assumption there lol
Same. I was a Digg refuge when I joined Reddit as well. That redesign was totally ass!
Many such cases
Probably wouldn’t get me to leave Lemmy, but I wouldn’t mind another competitor to Reddit.
Fool me thrice…
As far as centralized servers go I’ve always liked tildes.net as a reddit alternative.
Briefly joined Discuit during the Reddit API ruckus but I was already on Lemmy so I never stuck with it. It’s been open sourced and the people seemed mostly pleasant so it seemed like it was on a reasonable path towards creating a good space.
Well, Digg back then was better than Reddit is now, so I guess that’s something.
Digg was never better than reddit.
Yep. There’s a reason I moved over even before the v4/2011 fiasco
AI slop
Damn he’s old….
……looks in mirror……
Damn he’s old too……
What the fuck happened to him? He looks old!
He looks like early 2000s Kevin Rose aged up to pretend he’s 2020s Kevin Rose.
Right? I watched him on TechTV as a kid, but then he turned into a douchey tech-bro and I haven’t kept up - and now he looks like an old man!
I once listened to an episode of his tech-bro podcast and it hit me right in the childhood memories…

Alexis isn’t the one fucking up Reddit. Steve Huffman is.
Ahh! You’re right! I got them mixed up!
Coffee hasn’t kicked in yet.
he’s also a huge venture capitalist invested in ai too
Guy should really move on.
Can we bully him into federating
