This is kinda exciting ngl
I really, really hope the open internet takes off again
It's like a new chapter of internet history! Maybe. Seeing Reddit getting dark was chilling. Edit: Wait, some subreddits did go dark already, right? Or am I just feeling the pressing atmosphere?
Oh yeah. Many have already gone dark. The real D-Day is the 12th.
Yeah, a slow trickle of subreddits have already gone dark in response to the announcement of all the 3rd party apps shutting down at the end of the month. And I imagine today's AMA fiasco has only accelerated that
@BarneyKB @bitsplease It's very exciting!!! I'm just going to hold off a little bit until it gets to the early beta stage before standing up my own instance. That much said, I'm enthusiastically cheering the #lemmy devs on. Lemmy has good bones and a good plan of attack. I expect it only to improve.
Definitely agree, it feels like the start of something really really promising.
