this all youtube thing is kinda depressing as it highlights how much the web is dependent on this platform, there are and will be no "exits" or blackouts, no alternative platforms, and as much as we'd like to think that we "the users" are heard or in control, we aren't :(

i know we want this platform to grow, but just an artificial boost as a result of the fall of the competition isn't.. frankly speaking, a sustainable growth.. the reddit thing, obviously was good for lemmy and fediverse in general, but these platforms like mastodon [i was on mastodon.technology :( ] and lemmy have been around for years, growing silently, but this slow decline phase was inevitable given the unnatural influx.. it's like when a wave hits a shore and retracts.. lemmy will keep growing (given, the communities and instances don't implode), maybe not as fast as competitions but it will...
