More like corporate owned social web.

Ok, I don’t agree with everything but it was a interesting discussion and interesting hearing other points of view.

Reddit is (was) a social network with tens of thousands of communities and only ONE instance. That makes it easy for a small number of arrogant, greedy billionaires to ruin things for everyone.

Lemmy doesn’t make that mistake. By being decentralized, it prevents exactly that sort of thing from happening.

as new platforms spring up and grow at astonishing rates, I find this hard to take seriously

Can’t forget about Twitter right now either. Think YouTube is the only social media right now without any major fuck ups.
