Is it unusual that I don’t see vital importance in having to use a specific site? I think it’s maybe not healthy to be that attached to a corporate social media site, since people do eventually need to get used to the cycle of websites coming and going.

Personally aside from just community I do feel like this has really drawn a big light on how information needs to be much more spread out as opposed to centralized and people being held captive by it. Maybe it’s dramatic but now is possibly the move towards reddit trying to become another dominant Facebook type corporation with way too much influence, and the focus mainly being on not wanting to ruin or break up communities is potentially a short sighted one.

Like who thought Facebook would just go from social media to getting into VR and influencing groups during elections before they went public.

And with stuff like AI training that’s a lot of valuable conversations reddit is holding too. Would it be so surprising if in the future people look upon reddit wondering why they had let them become so big? People laughed when Facebook started trying to branch out with their failed smartphone, but now they got people trapped using their services like WhatsApp. I feel like now this direction reddit is headed towards is less about just some internet communities now.

When it comes to places to go to get information for regular people reddit had become too big, and would be better starting to break apart. Which is really unlikely with the massive amount of traffic they get.
