    To clarify, I agree that Beehaw should defederate with instances full of racist bigoted trolls.

    However, it’s hard to argue that sh.itjust.works works is one of those instances from just this. This is one guy who likely slipped under the radar. I’m just saying that we should just wait a bit to see how the situation unfolds before grabbing pitchforks.

    I’m just frustrated that not immediately jumping to an extreme response means I’m somehow complicit. And also somewhat frustrated that trying to distance myself from politics apparently means I’m acting privileged.

    I’m just tired of being angry all the time, at this point…

    Of course I’m worried about politics! I’m worried about the return of fascism across the west. I’m worried about deteriorating attitudes towards LGBT people. I’m worried about active attempts to eugenics neurodivergent people. I’m worried about the massive amount of influence megacorps have on people. The world is full of things to worry about. It makes people feel helpless.

    I can ramble for ages about how I do what I can. Maybe I can do more. Maybe I’m a bad person for not doing enough? Maybe I’m a coward for wanting to hide from it, I don’t know. Wanting to have a space to step away from worrying about these things is a copying mechanism I use, and I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing.

    While I hope Lemmy/Kbin takes off (heck, I’d love early internet forums to come back in style) and kicks off a second internet renaissance, the imminent collapse of Reddit legit is giving me anxiety. Hope y’all don’t mind if I vent a bit.

    Firstly, there are a lot of “niche” communities on Reddit, mostly dedicated to individual games and the like. The kind of thing where fanart, announcements and discussions happen. In the short term, I don’t see them surviving the collapse. And if they do, they’ll probably move to a not-great platform like Discord or whatever Facebook comes out with.

    Secondly, with SEO optimized AI generated garbage topping search results, Reddit has become an important reference when looking for reviews and opinions on things. As well as that, it has become somewhat of an archive of internet culture in a way. With subreddits moving to black out permanently and a push for users shredding their own data, there’s a very real chance that all of this content will be lost forever.
