MODERATORS
reddit - built by the users, moderated and largely developed by enthusiasts, only to have the resultant content paywalled and mined by AI for the benefit of oligarchs. Truly a sign of the times.
Oooohh ... he said the O word /s.
Seriously though, I think the best defence againt that is decentralization. It's not just ok for this to not be THE reddit sucessor. It's a positive good. Even more so now that I've realized you can follow most activitypub based things like mastodon from most of the others. Not only are none of the successors in completion, they're in symbiosis.
right, which is how things would be if the overarching objective of all software was to serve the needs of the general public - and to improve the lives of the users vs the shareholders. That is is how we end up paying a hundred or so a year to use some shitty web site to file taxes. Sorry I didn't know the o word was a no-no, I couldn't think of anything else more apt without swearing.
Sorry the o word bit was a dunp joke. I actualy prefer it over the usual coy alternatives like ceo.
