What got replaced already was the oligopoly on user-created content. That’s all that matters.

It doesn’t need to replace anything, that’s a sports mentality applied to the free flow of information. What this decade has taught us is that the doomscroll is all there is. Reddit, Tiktok, Twitter, etc. all have constant scrolling through content as their main feature. It’s a feature that’s extremely reproducible. What the fediverse does is take power away from the corporations that want to make money off of the flow of user-created content. By the fediverse’s existence, whenever some company wants to rate-limit or ban 3rd party apps, the people can now just say: “Nah.”

I mean lemmyshitposts on Lemmy.world is where I’m seeing the most but I’m new here and don’t really know how to write that out.

Let’s not be so quick to rush to judgment there, eh?

I used this site when migrating sub.rehab

Shows where old Reddit subs relocated to or branched out to.

I deleted my Reddit account on July 1st as well. Their distain for the people that provide them free labor was disgusting.
