creates space for betteralternatives to come along, only for the -> monopoly -> enshittification cycle to take place yet again

that's why most of the monopolies are temporary. capital, quality, attention and hype moves on faster than a monopoly that's too big to move can keep up with

Reddit is such a good example of this. Sad part is the user sticks around and complains about their data being used while providing that data on the platform that harvests it. Truly pathetic.

Hi sorry to bother you guys!! We just need a little help with our Geyser. it’s for my son 🙏🏻 thanks so much!! View quoted note →

It truly is. Nostr fixes this. Eventually.

No way Sounds like a scam

Agreed on this . Now even worst if the platform using Ai algho then our data also being used by the Ai company . The algho that keep user to Engaged 24/7 Is toxic and Nostr is the solutions for detox . 😊

That’s alright. God bless you

So after digg, people migrated to Reddit, but where did people go after Reddit went user hostile? I remember there was an attempt at moving to voat but it never got traction in the same way that Reddit initially did. The early 2010s Reddit was so much better than Reddit today.

no idea where old reddit users went. maybe to smaller forums based on niches, like it used to be? i know a lot just completely stopped using it after various changes the multiple times they did obvious pushes against users or mods. i also use it a lot less than before. voat could have been bigger, but the far right and liberal elements were successful in painting most free speech alternatives as only far right, curtailing larger general growth of the platforms. as a left leaning person this annoys me, since the liberal oriented social media landscape is so heavily censored in favor of the status quo

It’s hard to get rid of Reddit. It’s such a good place to find help and especially for coding related questions. I basically always write “reddit” at the end of a Google search. We need communities like subreddits on Nostr. Pretty sure I’ve heard about it already being worked on
