I’m tired of articles that just act like nothing else exists or has existed. It’s just so dishonest and not very intellectual. Right, Reddit and Discord, that’s all we have now right? Forget Facebook, Xanga, MySpace, Skype, the Messengers, IRC, ICQ, Twitter, WhatsApp, Kik, Telegram, Signal .etc it goes on and on.

But Reddit and Discord, that’s all we have!

Are you pretending that nothing has ever been tried? The Fediverse, that’s what is being done about it. That’s why most of us are here. Also, why narrow it down to Reddit and Discord? Articles like these are garbage because it’s very tone deaf.

Likes and Upvotes have long, long existed before. They started on forums, it was just the dawning of MySpace and Facebook and Reddit are what popularized them and made it standard.

Fucking hell, Forums also still exist, they just aren’t getting activity. I hate this fucking article now.

If the Fediverse can avoid one big problem with other social media platforms and that is having a power-tripping owner destroy it. If any of the Fediverse platforms can avoid that one thing and manage to keep it’s values in check, then it’s no contest to avoid the other social media platforms.
