In the early days the internet was a free, egalitarian space for anyone to surf. Now, commercial interests rule – but users do still have some control.
I don't really know. For text based discussion, I prefer something like Lemmy, also due to better moderation tools etc. It's a cool early thread-based discussion tool, but mostly outdated.
Unfortunately, there is absolutely zero other use for it, and nobody should ever bother, it's wasted time.
