Like for the past few years, browsing reddit is basically a daily routine for me. Now Reddit is dying, I feel like a part of me died. A website filled with many years of content… will soon be gone. I heard rumours that they are planning to purge the site of “undesirable” content before their IPO. I fear same thing will happen to youtube. I don’t have the resources to save all the content online, and watching sites die is painful. Reddit’s death triggered my fear for losing all those amazing youtube channels that I occasionally binge rewatch. (Does anyone else rewatch youtube videos over and over on a weekly basis? Maybe I’m just weird.
So this is what the internet is? Just a cycle of sites being born and dying, just like humans being born and dying. Omg whats the meaning of life…
Umm… sorry for the weird existential monologue. Lol
I hear you. Opening Apollo was basically the first thing I did when waking up (don’t judge me Lol). I’ve been on reddit for over 10 years and I credit it as playing a major role in pulling me away from the far right. I’ve learned so much on it, and it really feels like the end of an era. You can’t help but get a bit emotional. Anyway I hope that lemmy can fill that gap, I’ve been really enjoying the community here, everyone is quite friendly.
If you spend enough time around here, you just might get pulled away from the center-right ;)
Lol I already had my “enlightened centrism” phase on my way to the left
Hahaha glad to hear it my friend
