I know Discord is enshittifying and I’m all for switching to open source instead.
But everyone’s reason for leaving seems to be:
“Discord wants my ID for age verification and I don’t like that.”
And the new apps will be subject to the exact same laws.
Are users just not realizing that (and therefore in for a rude awakening), or am I missing something?
Yeah… when the point is hit where the ID stuff needs to be implemented, you’re too big a site to avoid going into the shitter anyhow.
Honestly, if this decentralization push as a result of the corporatization of social media means we end up with websirtes smaller and run by individuals like the web used to be 20+ years ago… you know, I’m totally fine with that.
I’ve been on lemmy since early October when the reddit ban-hammer smacked me down… and I do not miss the “sturm un drang” of that site one bit.
