I agree. I miss the old internet, especially the forums of the early 2000s.

It seems traffic from those forums largely shifted to Facebook, which I will never understand. I find societies lack of concern for having at least some privacy baffling. The photo bucket debacle felt like the final nail in the coffin for those forums.

Reddit became a fair alternative though as the popularity increased the quality of discussion decreased. As with all things internet over monitization has killed it.

I’m hopeful for the future of Lemmy, can’t wait to see where this goes.
