Subreddits and third-party apps are going dark in response to Reddit’s proposed API changes. It’s the latest front in a labor battle between algorithms and the humans who feed them.

    My problem with places like discord is that it is nearly impossible to effectively search for information there. It also regularly seems to me that the servers all have more rules than most subreddits. I don’t want an echo chamber, I want a giant forum with niche little rooms where there can be some resemblance to free-flowing ideas and discussion.

      Discord confuses me with all the nonsense it gets up to. Me and my buddies have a server we chat on and that’s the entire extent of that piece of software to all of us.

      As Lemmy instances grow, will they have a similar problem, or will Google start showing results from them?
