I mean there’s Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I’m sure there are plenty more (and I haven’t even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a couple months?

    One thing is chain reaction, another is that these media mostly came to existence in the same period of time. So they were aging synchronously.

    This was predictable and predicted many times. Just like a building constructed with violations is not going to collapse immediately after it’s finished, these things were not going to break (in various ways) immediately after being launched.

    They are breaking now. Oopsie.

    I hope XMPP makes a triumphant comeback. It’s not dead yet.
