Death? Don't get ahead of yourself. I doubt reddit is going anywhere, it just helped this place catch some wind.

IMO the Internet peaked with the blogosphere era of the early-mid '00's. While much of the activity took place on large blog-hosting websites like Wordpress or Blogger, the corporations had a pretty hands-off approach and "content creators" had greater influence and networks of similar blogs arose organically. Everyone had their blogroll listed on their sidebar and everything could be aggregated easily via RSS. I hope we can return to something like that model once again.

I agree. Would also be great to see more control returned to users regarding data gathering and usage. Privacy isn’t dead, but it shouldn’t be this hard to maintain a semblance of it

@kevinbacon social media owned by a single corporation isn't sustainable without deteriorating the user experience.
