I don't think I would have broken away without Kbin/Lemmy. Turns out I was addicted to discussion, not Reddit.
That's kinda what you find out over time and as you see platforms crumble.
the platform itself is just a wrapper for the discussions. If you can find somewhere with those discussions? The wrapper is irrelevant.
There really is no other large social media site that allows you to converse with actual people. Youtube and Twitter are all about chatting with the content creator, trying to get their attention. Facebook is for getting yelled at by distant relatives. Fortunately Kbin and Lemmy where there to catch us.
This is the thing that absolutely blows my mind. It's such an important niche. When you look at what the internet can do the most important thing you come to is basically reddit. Reddit all but wiped out traditional forums when it took over the niche and has dominated that space for years but it's such an absolutely piss poor implementation of the concept. I think it really speaks to how under utilized social media has been towards doing actual GOOD in the world.
It is important for people to have a place to discuss or hear others discuss important topics -- so I really think we're all a bit addicted to discussion.
