Comment on I hate the modern web
perishthethought@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoDoes anyone else remember back in the early days of the internet when experts used to say, “The internet routes around problems”.
I miss those early days.
To @daggermoon@lemmy.world , I see that a lot with searches now too but I just keep searching or find some other way around the problem. There’s no way I click in to Reddit any more. You do you, but I’m saying there’s always another option.

Honestly the internet will route around the loss of reddit just like it did with the loss of forums and other crowdsourced platforms that have died off over time. Yeah, we will lose a treasure trove of knowledge, but a lot of it was also outdated and the same questions will be asked again so the knowledge can be rebuilt.

Some forums are still around, but a large number of them and their content have disappeared.

Reddit is definitely not the final evolution of the internet board. It goes without saying that we can do better. And when a better iteration comes along nobody will even need to ask the Reddit users to switch. And then that thing will eventually be decrowned as well

I only hear people talking about Reddit on Lemmy to be honest
