  • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

  • Sorry but this sounds like a skill issue.

  • 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.

    Yes, we are here. But how do we get the rest of the population over? We are still more complicated to use in comparison to centralized networks. That's why most people are hesitant to join. This and exposure, of course.

    Also, why narrow it down to Reddit and Discord?

    I have heard from many people, and also from many YouTube influencers, that they add "reddit" to the end of their search query. So basically, people use Reddit to search on the internet now because it's real people, not shitty SEO content.

    Fucking hell, Forums also still exist, they just aren't getting activity

    True. But forums don't get the activity they deserve because of centralized networks that take it from them.

    Let's change that! What can we do to strengthen and grow the Fediverse?

  • Why does it need to be unfederated?

  • larger population seems hopeless.

    But what is the barrier? We have a functioning infrastructure. We need to solve the last piece of the puzzle.

    People need an easy way to join!

    Mastodon has already shown that this works. Even if they aren't as big as others yet, they still make up about two-thirds of the Fediverse. Now we need to replicate this for Lemmy, Pixelfed, and so on, and share our findings along the way.

  • Forums lifespans weren't all that much anyways.

    Couldn't this be much different if "web 2.0" hadn't taken over?

    Most sites that were hosted before 2010 are gone now.

    Many of them are still alive but don't get the exposure they deserve because of centralized networks.

    The real downside to everything being on StackOverflow, Reddit, Discord, etc is that it has made it easier for big tech to run their shady data collection and analysis schemes including AI Training.

    Right. But what can we do to get people to switch to the Fediverse and put an end to this?

  • How about strengthening the Fediverse and Lemmy?

    Let the internet burn in Reddit/Discord/SEO hell. Maybe we can build something from the ashes.

    So basically, let the world burn? Because that's what it looks like we're heading toward right now because of big tech.

    Maybe we can build something from the ashes.

    The big question is whether it will be us who do that.

  • Have you ever tried DuckDuckGo or Qwant? They have better results in my opinion, as long as you don't care about the business snippets.

  • None of the moneybags will listen, unfortunately. But I'm with you. The rollout of AI was extremely irresponsible. Just to make it profitable as quickly as possible.
