Is this like the Linux nerds’ version of the Crips and the Bloods?

241·7 months agoTake your time, Mark III Zucker-borg. I’m in no rush for you to screw up yet another web site with your ads and your propaganda.
I mean, they’re right. The internet really IS worse than ever, and I don’t think the Dork Web (federated social media) does enough to fill the gap of Twitter at its peak ten years ago.
If you really want to play “get off my lawn,” I’d suggest that the internet is also not as good as it was in the 1990s, where just being on suggested a level of competency with technology that no longer seems to apply. Yes, the download speeds were terrible and there was no YouTube, but 1990s internet was a literary pursuit. Now, it’s largely visual, and tailor-made for short attention spans. Instead of mind-enriching, it’s mind-draining, like television.
I keep thinking of ditching Kbin for Lemmy, because Kbin is down more often than I’d like, and I presume Lemmy is healthier. However, I’ve gotten quite used to this place, and am not eager to start anew elsewhere.
