It started in 2012 with the Mayans, later the Cubs winning, Harambe and so on.

Teleconference chat at 2400 baud was something else.

That's a pretty cool idea for a website, tracking the enshittification of major sites and products. I'd read it but I'm sure it'd be a lot of depressing, hard to monetize work for those involved to run.

I don't mind it at all. Let people vent and release from their old addiction. It's happened for every migration going back to AOL.

If anything, WE can control what we see and if you're in areas that constantly have reddit complaints maybe it's time to curate that subscription list a bit better. Or use a Lemmy app that filters by keyword. You have the power.

It should be emphasized, the above list is accurate for Social Interaction as the discussions and text have indeed waned. It does mention that at the end, but still.

For media sharing specifically, many of those above items are either trivial OR are actually what helps it thrive. Somehow, 30 years later, we're still under the radar and maxing out connection speeds without having to VPN, seed, share or dodge ISP rules and DMCA requests.

You shouldn't expect it from ANY site really.

Great news, really hope the 5 is next.

This guy firms.

Still the best, can't believe it's been 20 years.

I'm curious, why do you think he actually wants it to continue? Geopolitical strategy is an ugly and complicated beast but most people seem to think it's as simple as "old man wants genocide".

So glad to see improvement on the site. Back when the event happened it was far from something I could easily share with friends and family but not anymore. Keep up the great work.

Or else what, exactly? Until someone actually holds his feet.to the fire, the idiocy will continue.
