First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

    It’s probably just confirmation bias, but I also like platforms small, before all the rabidly negative 500k+ sized communities show up. When stuff gets too large, sites become impersonal. Regulars drowned out by a megaphone of spam, rage content, mass downvotes, “have you ever touched a boob? I’m not horny I just really wanna know” type questions, and which X is best X type threads.

    Reddit was getting far, far too large for its own good in regards to some default and even non default subs. Some went from meaningful conversations to just images drowning out all text threads. felt like shouting into the void after that.
