So, what paths are still available for us to preserve and restore those civic freedoms?

Gotta love the appeals process of submitting a form and getting absolutely zero response or indication of status. Appeals going straight into a garbage can with no one reading them lmao

The original Digg was an important site for me personally between 2005-2009, but only in that early era and mostly as a bridge between my Fark and Reddit eras. I honestly can’t see it competing with Reddit’s established user base or being as no-nonsense and free as Lemmy. I don’t think it will gain traction and the AI aspect will turn a lot of people off from it.

I created my first Reddit account in over a decade and was shadowbanned almost immediately. I didn’t even get a chance to post a semi-“controversial” opinion! The site is total garbage these days.

Tyler Hassen and Bryton Shang are fascist toadies.
