People have accused .world of trying to be the 'new' Reddit but to me it was clear from day one that it was beehaw that wanted to do this. By 'new' Reddit, I mean a walled garden environment. Once they do this it won't be long before they introduce ads etc to the software they choose. Y'know, to 'supprt the site' etc.
I totally understand the desire for a safer space but I genuinely don't believe that that is the beehaw admin teams primary desire. Or if it is, they see it as a marketable USP, not a thing they necessarily believe in. I think from the start they saw the potential for making money and this is just another step on that long process.
