‘We started as a unique service and people flocked towards us when digg died. It won’t happen again, as there is no alternative.’
He only forgot that when there is no alternative that is exactly what a company offers, people will either crate one or find something else that’s either good enough or even better. Companies don’t die because they do stupid things, they die because the users/customers are fed up with them. Just look at the banks, where people withdraw their cash and leave, digg that caused an exodus to reddit, Reddit exodus to kbin/lemmy and now even Discord.
When I look at R/CSRRacing2, the main contributer went almost silent after half june, the place to be now is one of the 2 discord servers. (even though I created !csrracing2@lemmy.world , which is totally quiet) The DIscord servers for that game totally embraced the forum function for the event info, but chat is used for the immediate questions. Biggest advantage, getting the same question over and ver isn’t to bad, as they scroll out of the window fast enough. ;)
To loosely quote Jean Rasczak:
“You’re it, until you’re dead or I find someone better.”
I’m currently reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. There’s a part about fiction where tell about how corporations and even nations are basically fiction. They only exist, because enough people believe in them. If people stop believing in them, their right to exist seizes to exist.
