Not much info yet, but I grew up on Digg, so I’m cautiously optimistic. Probably no Fediverse support, but honestly, any Reddit alternative is a win. Really hoping for real API access and third-party apps.
I am going back to /.
80% chance is going to be a crypto scam. 20% chance it’s going to be a right wing cespool
Rose not listening to users is what killed he platform before, I seriously doubt he has gotten over that ego.
Nah, it’s gonna be ass, they haven’t even launched and they are talking about AI. Totally tone deaf.
Sounds great in theory but proprietary/corpo owned websites don’t matter one bit to me anymore.
Not interested in what will most likely just be yet another right-wing bullshit platform.
I’m not going to go back to a closed-source centralized platform
But maybe this time the hot stove won’t burn me if I touched it?
Dont care unless something significant happens
Lemmy exists now. We don’t need another corporation.
Yeah sure, this time the giant company won’t enshittify.
I used to be on digg. Fuck digg, let’s ddos these cunts. Then cook some reddit datacenters.
I was looking forward to it, but then I got here, and find that it suits me.
In 2025, that’s like saying “Hey, we should go back to Myspace!” Myspace did a complete makeover, too. Does anybody care? No.
Not interested. Ohanian wants to moderate it with AI which is an absolute nope from me. I also have mbin and that’s fine for me. I guess the edge case that might make me visit it would be the handful of reddit communities I still use for Japan tax/legal/biz/etc. that won’t move to the fediverse decided to move there. I guess that’s preferable to occasionally using reddit.
Its gonna be linked to reddit and theyll pretend its federated to take steam away from federated stuff like bluesky did to mastodon
There seems to be this possessive myth that Mastodon would have been more popular if only it hadn’t been for Bluesky. Nah. It would have been exactly as popular as it currently is. The techies like us would have found it, just like we did, but everyone else would haven’t have used it. Everyone would just still be on Twitter.
I get everyone’s beef with Bluesky, but let’s not pretend that Mastodon isn’t responsible for its own problems.
What I find ironic is that misskey, akkoma and gotosocial all offer more features (reactions, server-defined post length limit, markdown support, more media per post) and a general better user experience than mastodon, but the elephant gets all the attention
My god, what’s next, the most triumphant return of Geocities, replete with blinking text, construction signs and visitor counter?
That’s… a lot better than I thought.
