  • Reddit has an absolutely massive wealth of community knowledge. If you want to find a community for $thing or gain obscure knowledge on $thing, that’s where you go (assuming there isn’t an old forum post from before Reddit killed forums).

    Twitter is where a lot of people still are. If you’re the kind of person to care what a particular person says, that’s where you probably want to be.

    Instagram is used by young people who have friends on Instagram.

    It isn’t a great system, but it is the system that we have today. This is why legislation compelling Meta/Twitter/whothefuckever to act in an ethical manner is important. Social media is to some extent a natural oligopoly, and unless we get extremely, extremely lucky, the fediverse will always be a niche community.









  • We were supposed to build one here, but AT&T basically owns our city government lol.

    They announced the project wouldn’t be moving forward because they wouldn’t/couldn’t use imminent domain to lay fiber in peoples yards. They’ve used it to build 3 stadiums in the past 20 years, and knock down entire neighborhoods in the process. Literally bulldozed multiple square miles of city.

    I fucking hate it here. We gave the stadium owners a bunch of money this week to renovate their stadium for some reason.
