The internet isnt a person or thing. Its a giant network and its literally whatever the nodes on the network want it to be. Thats why we are here having this discussion on lemmy.

The internet is so many different things all at once, you can't really generalize it or say the whole thing is being enshittified.

I think we all just learned a hard lesson about trusting companies where we are the product rather than the customers. People were very naive in the early days of social media, and advertising.

You say that like we didn't see people closing their Reddit communities and moving them to Discord.

We ain't learnt shit.

I use discord but i can't stand it as a platform for discussion. Forums, even reddit, seem so superior to me as a format for discussion and storing information. Maybe I haven't figured out discord yet

I don't think there's much to figure out.

It's IRC, TeamSpeak and a Wiki, wrapped up behind a custom web UI.

And everyone is going to be so surprised when those investors start demanding their returns, and everybody's content gets stuffed behind a paywall.

Cool so it actually sucks, it's not my incompetence
