I don’t know if this is the right community, but I suppose it’s close enough.
You can’t even make posts like this on Reddit anymore, Reddit has become such a hog on the internet traffic it’s ridiculous. It wouldn’t be a problem if Reddit didn’t take such precious internet space.
They censor people, regular people who aren’t even doing anything too controversial. Reddit’s automated filters constantly remove people’s posts, only conformist content is allowed there, and so nothing of value remains. Just generic conformist post after another generic conformist post.
Why is this platform still popular is honestly just beyond me at this point. No really, can someone please, please explain to me why do people keep using this broken website anymore?
It doesn’t take precious internet space, internet space is practically limitless (by the time ipv6 addresses run out we’ll be well on our way with ipv7 or 8). It just takes as much space in your mind as you’re willing to give it. Instead of highlighting something that’s negative to you redirect that energy into building lemmy into something more positive
It does ,however, use real electricity and hardware. Which could be used for something else.
If we run out of IPv6 addresses, there is either something wrong with how we are using it or our current understanding of the universe. There’s 2128 IPv6 addresses and about 233 people on Earth.
