This is my Kbin account. I'm what some people call a Vtuber, but I just consider myself an internet dude. I like having a virtual avatar.

I'm obsessed with retro tech, and I greatly enjoy games, movies, history, language, science, and MMA. Follow me over at:

It is not Lemmy or kbin, it is the fediverse. ( kbin.social )

I don't think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse. There are other platforms and will be more to come. Referring to a post on "Lemmy" or "kbin" is like saying you saw a post on your Windows or Mac computer....

I think any public forum on the internet without some degree of limitation devolves into idiocy and hatred.

Every community with “zero censorship” rapidly turns into nazi-infested shithole.

Yeah, this. It often takes a lot to kill titans of any particular industry... and like it or not, the old tech bro sites like Reddit, Twitter etc. have grown too large to kill with a single arrow or a single trip of their own.

Instead their death often has to happen as a slow and gradual reforming of opinion. The most popular media sites have been thrown into chaos, and have lost most all of their goodwill (or what amount they may have had of it anyways) leaving them gasping for air. Facebook didn't become "a place for old people" over night. It was a gradual thing.

Reddit will die off. Them locking the API behind a huge paywall will hurt them, not help them. VC's have already lost a lot of faith in the tech industry including social media. They'll have to find a way to make money... and I'm sorry to say, but if they couldn't make money all this time, they probably won't really ever be able to.

The age of high valuation with promises on return are gone.
