Yeah, over this whole situation and being in smaller communities without lot of activity as reddit. All I could think was a site actually isn’t all that special. It is in the end just a message board with threaded comments, and it is users who post, comment, respond, and interact until a place reaches a sustainable activity point for lurkers to keep revisiting that provides value and mods who monitor for trouble. It doesn’t matter how good a site it is. It’s still just like any message board before it.

I’m seeing reddit as a place that should stop being seen as so vital and as the only place that can form communities, and the internet does need to be redistributed instead of so centralized when it comes to activity. Even among corporate social media tiktok, twitter, and instagram are similar so there’s well known alternatives that keeps each of those in check and usage and content provided from content creators is more distributed than the current state of a reddit type corporate social media of communities.

I’ve seen talk from users concerned about reddit. And mods feeling obligated to them. But, so much personal investment at the end of the day in a social media site that is for profit is seeming more like something that would be better off being broken. And it’s kind of strange seeing this with the superiority redditors have had over other social medias, but the level of reliance seems too much and more difficult than other regular people had just switching over to twitter to tiktok or youtube shorts or whatever. Redditors seem the most afraid of change right now.
