Why do so many tech companies, like Reddit and Twitter are making their platforms worse for their users all of a sudden? (self.asklemmy)

think we need a return to the late 90s/early 2000s internet where communities were completely decentralized from each other. If the administration of your community goes to shit then only your community is fucked. This whole thing where a “platform” for communities lowers the bar which is nice but if the administration fucks up a lot of people get fucked over and a lot of communities get wrecked

I don't know what you mean. If one instance falls there's a million fallback communities. If the developers of the software itself fuck up instances just won't use that new fucked version.

It’s definitely a lot better but like if lemmy.world goes down it takes a lot of communities with it scrambling to find homes on new instances. Maybe if each instance itself was a community? That would probably be a nightmare though in terms of building up a user base.

Or maybe I’m just misunderstanding it, I’m kind of new to lemmy
