So last decade was filled with corporate social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, etc. And I mean it still is but perhaps if we play our cards right we can make 2020 the age of decentralized social media? Maybe we won’t end up being the top 5 pages on the internet but we just have to grab a good portion of people to compete more directly with the big corpos. Descripción
I’d like to think so, but I do wonder whether that’s mostly due to me being in my 40s and fondly remembering the internet before it was all owned by four companies. Is it nostalgia, or were things genuinely more agreeable back when it was all forums as far as the eye could see; forums that were owned and run by random people with no real financial skin in the game.
At my peak I had five forums that I regularly posted on: all of them are long gone now. But what’s Lemmy if not just a bunch of different forums?
