@garius@twitter.com Nowhere else will be exactly the same as Twitter, same as nowhere else has been exactly the same as Live Journal, which I still mourn. But got to look forward not back. Live Journal taught me there's an expiry date on these places.
: This.
I've been through Usenet, ICQ, Forums, Twitter and now ???
Mastodon? Maybe. Maybe Twitter (as I like it/use it) won't collapse yet.
But I learned a long time ago that all online discourse spaces die. You mourn them, but you also have to prep to move on.
AOL communities.
Usenet.
Large number of php music/urbex forums.
MySpace.
Something Awful (despite being a forum, it feels worth differentiating).
Facebook.
Google+.
Reddit.
Instagram.
Twitter.
Discord.
Hopefully Musk's drive to the bottom, along with the direction of things like the DMA, will finally push us away from social walled gardens.
@garius ICQ… a blast from the past! Dim memories of Feesch…
