Twitter, Reddit and Discord are simultaneously going to shit - because enshittification is what happens when suddenly money isn't free any more and borrowing carries an interest rate The fediverse is not very well connected suburbs, good for what it is but doesn't do the same job bsky is gonna do its own fediverse (with beer and shitcoins) and it's fun right now as a single instance with good users, but the staff are the sort of barely-crypto-reactionary free speech warriors who will never block the nazi instances [youth pastor voice] you know, there's someone else who talked about the tendency of the rate of profit to fall . EDIT: to clarify: Discord is ticking along for now, but they hired some ex-Facebook execs, employees are in revolt and the org is hollowing out. hence (a) bad decisions (b) glitching https://archive.is/fI3hq

    I use it for gaming with friend groups, but would gladly get off it if my friends would too. Sadly that is a near impossibility. lol

      Yeah, for certain kinds of live conversations while involved in a group activity, it works fine. But only for that, in my opinion.
