Personally, I'm looking forward to Reddit going the way of Digg.
- xattt 3y agoThere’s a few posts that are pretty valuable and should be archived in some form or another.
- midoridensha 3y agoI'm sure the same was true for Digg, but those posts were all lost anyway. That's the danger of using a centralized, for-profit corporation's message forum service. By contrast, we can still look up posts from decades ago on USENET.
- tester457 3y agoSame, but there's no viable replacement yet.
- soupfordummies 3y agoI feel that, we’re already on the closest one IMO. I already spend way more browsing time here than Reddit these days. That said, it does lack focused topic discussion for things like, your favorite band for instance. I guess we will all just use a million fragmented discords most likely
- midoridensha 3y ago>That said, it does lack focused topic discussion for things like, your favorite band for instance. That was always the greatest thing about Reddit IMO: there's some really unique and highly-focused subs there. However, the fact that you have to use a single account across all the subreddits (you can use different accounts, but it's a pain) makes you very vulnerable to some crazy mod in one sub banning you and then getting you banned from the entire site. Completely separate discussion forum sites, as were common 10-20 years ago, didn't have this problem.
- piaste 3y agoUsing multiple accounts is one of the things that third-party apps made much easier, as it happens.
