    I get that cult feeling for sure. There is a lot less nuance here. I’d be curious of the average demographic because I see a lot of naivety that’s probably linked to age & experience.

      That’s such a reductive sweep of a whole userbase. It’s not because you have a negative outlook that everybody has to be like you.

      People are thrilled to try and build something new and people like you come and shit on them to try to recreate reddit.

      At the very least, people are trying to take back a part of the internet that corporations controlled for more than a decade. So it’s normal that when a megacorp come and try to muddle the water, people are refusing that because they know their M.O.

        I’m not stopping you. If you want to re-lean the lessons of the past because you ignore those that experienced them, feel free. You can’t design a system ripe for corporate takeover and act shocked when it happens.
