Ive had this conversation with people over the years but a lot more recently and its a common comment that people miss the niche communities, the wonderfully weird and surreal sites you would stumble across whereas now its 5 corporate sites reposting the same jokes or content designed to keep you angry about the wrong things.
Re-engaging with lemmy.ml and finding here has made my heart flutter that I’m not alone!
I started my own Wordpress site as a way to counter act the feel of centralized dread, and that opened me up to the multitude of small sites out there being run by people for the sake of running them. There’s a lot of small weird stuff out there, it’s just getting daily double digit views.
Reading this whole comment thread felt therapeutic somehow. You all get it.
