i used to ridicule people for posting on twitter and facebook saying how ephemeral it was and what’s the point of putting everything in a walled garden. now reddit’s gone to shit and i feel a fool. turns out it’s not as open as it appeared to be

i really hope this catalyses many people into going back to their own websites and using rss. i know they’re still not that permanent, but at least if your site host turns to shit you can pack up and leave.
