    Here’s the required introduction blurb. I’m just glad to have another usable social media site that isn’t trying to IPO or turn a huge profit I guess. I’ve been part of SDF for over 20 years.

    Thoughts on the reddit exodus, if any? Most of these forums only last a few years. How long were you on Slashdot? Kuro5hin? Plastic? HuSi? BinRev? SA? Or any of the multitudes of phpBBs that are(were) out there? Reddit ain’t gonna disappear instantly, but it might be at its apex and start going downhill. These things(forums/boards/etc) don’t last forever, and are rarely profitable, thus don’t last long, and those that do become pretty boring, attract to many trolls/riffraff, or scare away all the interesting people.

    It’s nice that things are kind of decentralizing, hopefully for the better.
