    Between this and reddit going “down” yesterday, the internet just sucks right now.

      No, the internet is healing. This is a dream come true.

        I couldn’t agree more. These platforms have become toxic wastelands. Let them die and let the people create new and better communities

      Internet is what you make of it. Plenty of good stuff to find out here. Just leave when you encounter greed.

        True. Reddit was just kinda “the place” for a lot of online communities, imo. Hopefully Lemmy can grow into something great.

          Two years ago I was hoping the same thing for Mastodon and, to be honest, that’s kind of panning out. I’ve really found some awesome stuff and people that I’m genuinely interested in interacting with.

      It partially sucks because so much of it is walled into like a dozen sites. It’s convenient for a lot of reasons but we’re starting to see that having our own blog/forum/business site might be for the best even if it takes more effort

        Same for where I work. We’ve dramatically redused what we post on social media, and have beefed up our web presence and is starting to build up e-mail lists. The traffic is much more valuable
