    I’ve been online for close to 30 years now.

    I’ve lost count of the number of forums I’ve had to leave because they went to shit.

    I always find another one.

      Same here. My domain name and email address will turn 30 next March. I’ve been doing this since the days when Usenet posts were transmitted across sites using UUCP.

      We will always find the next place. Reddit has peaked and is destroying itself and it’s time to move on.

      Yeah, a lot of these concerns strike me as coming from people who don’t remember the time before the big, centralized media sites. Hopping from forum to forum, making new friends and learning new things along the way, is all part of the adventure.
