Sounds like Morpheus was right about not freeing minds once they reach a certain age.

He's two years older than I am, and I'm here on Lemmy with a deleted 15 year old Reddit account. He's always been like this, age has nothing to do with it.

I actually think being older in general makes you more willing to move around on the internet, I've seen so many changes and joined and left so many things as they rose and fell that it's just a fact of life that some things on the internet are very cyclical, I'm actually astonished that reddit got as far as it did while remaining relatively user friendly.

The more sure you are of something being perpetual the more ephemeral it seems to actually be.

Absolutely, I already was over "sticking to a platform no matter what" when LIveJournal was bought by Russians in 2007. At one time LJ was practically my life, but I took a "scorched earth policy" with my blog there just as I did with all my Reddit content.
