as new platforms spring up and grow at astonishing rates, I find this hard to take seriously
Reddit is (was) a social network with tens of thousands of communities and only ONE instance. That makes it easy for a small number of arrogant, greedy billionaires to ruin things for everyone.
Lemmy doesn’t make that mistake. By being decentralized, it prevents exactly that sort of thing from happening.
It’s not impossible to ruin, just a lot harder.
Can’t forget about Twitter right now either. Think YouTube is the only social media right now without any major fuck ups.
More like corporate owned social web.
