I remember the olden days before social media, when most Internet communities were built around message boards.
Both lightly-moderated and heavily-moderated communities were fun for different reasons, but what I discovered over time was that if moderation falls below a certain point, the result is always pedophiles and Nazis.
As I predicted, #Twitter is basically a few pedophiles short of being the next 4chan.

Blockchain was an interesting niche tech that was not good for anything practical but was hyped to the rafters by grifters and failed spectacularly.
Generative AI is the new interesting niche tech that's not good for anything practical but is being hyped to the rafters by grifters and will fail spectacularly.
When ordinary people just assume anyone in tech is full of shit, this is why.

Capitalism has convinced you RSS is antiquated. The real reason it's fading is because it doesn't have ads and tracking. You going to tell me the news article is truly better on a browser with ads than on a little program you can open any time, on or offline?
