Crack on Reddit I’m Done Anyways.
I was mainly a lurker on reddit with only occasional posting. But I’m done with it anyway now. Always felt a little uneasy as it was like the last social media ‘product’ i consumed after purging all other mainstream ones.
This latest drama has just shown the company management of a single website is making changes in view of its own profits. I thought i was a user but maybe I’m a customer. But have no interest in that. I’m free now.
Think I’ll float about the fediverse for a while. This is 1st post so might not actually work ha
We were neither the users nor the customers. We were the products. Or more accurately, we had become the products.
The Fediverse is interesting. It feels more like how the web should be. No one entity or corporation should have absolute control.
Yep fair point. ‘If its free, you’re the product’ etc. It did feel like that by the end.
Be interesting to see how decentralised it all stays as well. A lot of things want to centralise by nature so might come down to that. Everything snowballs after that
