- uni_rule 4y agoI hope there is at least some centrality to the next "cool place". All the new projects are decentralized (as in the communities are isolated from each other, not in infrastructure) to the point of being like a giant ant farm, it makes it impossible to find things and also makes whatever genuine information they give out really tenuous because you never know how long the particular instance of a platform or chat server or whatever you are looking at will remain up. Really I just hope all the shit you begrudgingly need to add "site:reddit.com" to in order to get actual search results for is still usable. Watching the site genuinely burn would make me actively worse at troubleshooting tech.
- hammyhavoc 4y ago21h since you commented and I'm amazed nobody has come along to tell you how ChatGPT is going to kill both Reddit and Google and mean you won't even need to troubleshoot anything anymore. So yeah, that, apparently.
- Euphorbium 4y agoReddit is just apollo backend. They could easily build the backend themselves.
