With Reddit, and perhaps also Twitter. Personally I deleted my accounts on both platforms and came here today, because I feel it was the moral thing to do. And I hope both platforms will burn down, and the new way forward is more community-driven social media instead of capitalist-driven. But realistically I think both will just slowly get worse in terms of quality (well, twitter doesn’t have much quality content for a while now anyway) and muddle through for a while. In the end it could go either way I think? What are your thoughts on where those platforms will end up, realistically?

    I doubt either will die quickly. More like a decade-long process of fading into obscurity, followed by a corporate takeover that barely even makes the news. People were wondering the same about Facebook back when everyone started realizing that place is a shit hole, but it still lingers on! Isn’t Yahoo even still around?
