Can we all stop the in-fighting for a minute and realise how awesome the platform we are on is?
We are forming communities on the realized image of the internet that we were told we would have back in the 80s and 90s.
You can make your own home on the web and have your own niche community, not owned by any corporation, while still being connected to the wider internet.
This feels like something out of a sci-fi movie.
I remember Reddit days when 5k upvotes was off the charts.
I remember when they switched the formatting of vote numbers, e.g., from
5,238to5.2k, and realized it’s getting mainstream (which is not bad in itself, but… there’s something with a small community).
