That’s gonna result in a massive amount of dead links. The internet really is dying…
I don’t think it’s dying. I hope it’s a paradigm shift like when it changed from wild west lawless chaos to three or four huge companies running all of it. Maybe we end up with everything replaced by different distributed services. It’s going to incredibly annoying when half the search results are dead links or links to reddit but that annoyance can drive innovation.
I’m 100% down to go back to Wild West.
The feeling and freedom of playing runescape on the early 2000s unfiltered internet was something I’ve missed. Maybe it’s coming back.
100% agree. I think we were better off with the Wild West. Users were actually in charge, server admins were small operators who didn’t have to answer to venture capitalists who wanted to 10x their investment, not everything was data scraped and logged to build advertising profiles on the entire population. Each community set its own rules, you didn’t have one guy in California deciding what the AUP would be for millions and then changing it on a whim because some advertiser got pissed off.
While the big companies have created some very cool stuff, and using it is very approachable without any technical knowledge, I would trade it all in to go back to the situation where not everything is hosted on some megaplatform. I think it’s better for the internet that way.
I like to think that sort of movement is making a resurgence, I’m seeing more people involved in self-hosting stuff, and with recent changes at Reddit and Twitter there’s a lot more interest in decentralized communication platforms.
I also think the platform is the key. I don’t think any one person or group should be in charge of the public square. Not Spez not Elon and certainly not Tencent or anyone connected with an authoritarian government.
Yeah those were good times posting trolls on a site made by some dude who was a carpenter running the site in his spare time. Site had only one rule: don’t be an asshole, which would only get enforced when that one dude got home from work.
Though I’m not sure that’s all that feasible now, too many idiots on the internet Poe’s law and all that. We can’t be all that wild anymore because there’s idiots that take this shit too seriously now.
But I think the Fediverse is an interesting middle ground. I can foresee racist whack jobs setting up some instances resulting in a weird broken web of sites that are sometimes federated, sometimes not. Maybe we can organize troll raids on the bad guy sites and shit like that.
It could be wild times, but I think it’ll be a different kind of wild than before.
the answer to that is somewhat larger moderation teams, like 6-8 people in their spare time, ideally not in the same timezone. hundreds of thousands, if not millions of said teams have self-organized in the past couple of years with all the corpo platforms going full “user-generated content” on moderation as well, in an effort to scale their empires, and now they’re questioning just how necessary those corpos are.
It’s definitely going to be different. Probably a mix between the old and the new. But I think the real benefit is it offers space for everybody. The people who want to be wild can do so, and those who don’t need to have nothing to do with them.
Yet TikTok is still vastly more popular then lemmy or reddit.
So what?
There’s a place for that. Back in the old IRC days there was a place for AOL. Let TikTok and Reddit keep the idiots.
I mean, I went from Facebook to Reddit to Lemmy.
Seems like a good trajectory.
Next step is heading back to old “General Talk” sections of random message boards like it’s 2003. Is the Massassi Temple Forum (Jedi Knight game) still around?
Forums were some of the best way to get info before everything had its own subreddit and its own discord. It’s cool to be able to chat directly with creators and that ilk, but I do miss the community on like the Jedi knight forums, SWG forums, gameFAQs boards, and even those sketchy Zelda timeline sites.
It’s not.
The problem is, you won’t get the sort of compatibility you enjoy now any more. So many different applications, phone keyboards etc support gfycat and that’s where all the content is.
They won’t support dozens of disparate led popular services spread across the internet.
Those services are also likely to be less reliable, less well moderated for offensive/illegal content and such, and more likely to randomly disappear.
Like why Reddit was such a success, I want stability. I want one, reliable, centralised place I can go for everything.
Another concern I have, considering Lemmy specifically, is hacking of their infrastructure. Is my Lemmy account data as secure as my Reddit account? No. The software isn’t as secure, and the security teams are non existent, it’s just a guy (a wonderful guy!) hosting this as a hobby.
And even if one server does get a proper tech security team, that’s just one server.
There’s also the question of WHO is hosting a Lemmy instance being used, are they trustworthy? Are they being independently audited? Have they been found in compliance with GDPR? Are they secretly selling our data? Could be, who knows.
For all the awful things that come with a big company like Reddit, there’s more scrutiny, accountability, etc.
I don’t mean to diss Lemmy, I’m really really hopeful for it. I just have a lot of early concerns, things they’ll have to solve before I can really see it being the trustworthy, solid cornerstone of the internet I’d like it to be.
I don’t think it’s wrong to keep questions like these in mind, it’s great for information security and your privacy!
I’m with ya - no hate and no ill will to the hosts of any of these instances, but a cautious or informed user is a safe user. And safe users tend to mean user longevity on a platform! So it’s kind of cyclical, the “safety> accountability> user” relationship.
Given that Reddit is going to sell your data to anyone willing to pay, is reddit really all that secure?
Russia, China, the NSA, or whoever else you’re worried about can just set up some fake business claiming to be a marketing company and simply buy access to all of your data on reddit’s servers.
Nothing you post on the internet is ever really private.

Can’t speak for the other apps, but on Jerboa, I get a “Network Error” every time I try to post. The post will go through, but from my end, it looks like it didn’t go through. A lot of people are getting similar messages, hence the double posts. All growing pains for a site not ready for the mass migration into Lemmy.
Search engines will just have to get better at scrubbing their databases. Most of this stuff is ephemeral so it’s usually a deep search that leads to these old threads…and future dead links. Distributed services isn’t bad, it’s just different. Pre-web it was archie, gopher, veronica, usenet, etc. Now all those things - or their equivalent data - run on top of the web. It’s just an evolution.
I say we all go back to browsing the web via Lynx and chatting it up on IRC. Who’s with me?
Reject modernity, return to bbs
With FIDOnet, you can send a message and get a reply in mere days! The future really is amazing!
I miss IRC…
Me too. I think it’s not missing the platform or the protocol, it’s the attitude that went with it. It was a time of experimentation, people would spin up websites and services and sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t but it was ours. People would forward a port to a spare laptop and make a shitty server for IRC or shoutcast or video game or something like that and it all belong to us, there were no huge platforms in charge. Each community could set their own rules and not have to worry about what an advertiser was okay with. And there weren’t big platforms scraping every last keystroke further monetize us.
It was a lot less accessible for people not willing to learn technical skill, but I think in many ways we were better off. There was a lot more freedom and more independence.
The tech knowledge was its own gatekeeping and filter. I also miss slapping people with a wet trout… Actually, it’s mostly the trout nostalgia for me…
LazaroFilm slaps SirEDCaLot around a bit with a large troutLazaroFilm slaps SirEDCaLot around a bit with a large trout
I love it! I remember that…
The tech stuff was a bit of a filter, true. There will always be a place for services like AOL was back then- the super easy to use ‘dumbed down’ platform for those who don’t want to learn. I think the result of ‘Rexxit’ may be that- the smart folks come to Lemmy and the dumb ones stay put. Not sure if that’s good or bad.
By dumb ones I don’t mean people who lack technical knowledge, I mean people who need the answer spoon fed to them. Because I think we should be realistic. Compare Matrix to WhatsApp, compare Lemmy to Reddit, the biggest ‘filter’ is having to choose a home server when signing up and then not having all the content sprayed at you automatically. If that is what we call ‘difficult’ then I argue our standards as a society are too low.
And I think in the old internet culture there was plenty of space for different levels of skill. The people with technical skill were the ones setting up little servers on their cable modems with spare laptops, The people without technical skill were the ones just using them and learning. Nothing wrong with that I don’t think. Big platforms make both groups equal, anybody can spin up a discord server or start a subreddit, but at the expense of everybody’s control. If the experienced user and the inexperienced user both want things running differently, they don’t get that choice because it’s not under their control.

We need to choose. Link rot or massive megacorps owning everything on the Internet.
Before reddit, imgur, etc got big, the Internet was FULL of dead links. Image links in particular. Small image hosts cleared their storage after a while because, y’know, kinda expensive to host a bunch of content for free.
But you know what? We ran everything. And discovery was hella different. Personal websites, bulletin boards… Clicking links from one place to end up at another, and then you find another link to another website… It was something different entirely. Of course, Digg, StumbleUpon and reddit all were originally just websites where you could share what you’d discovered and other people could comment on it, but reddit ended up becoming THE place to hang out, and then nobody bothered going to all these small websites anymore.
I see the fediverse as being something in-between. The content doesn’t all belong to a massive corporation, but it’s also still MORE centralized than the Internet of old. We all hang out in a shared, federated space, rather than having a bunch of different spaces. Communities aren’t as insular, which is both good and bad - and I guess everyone has different preferences anyway. But while on a big network like the fediverse or reddit, you tend to feel like part of a very big community (unless you subscribe exclusively to tiny communities/subs), on the forums of old, you’d have a small community and most people were fairly active participants, so it really felt like a close-knit community if you know what I mean.

I hope that IPFS (or something like it) may end up improving that dichotomy

But the net is also different from back then. For one way more people use it and what is expected of it has changed. People expect to stream 1080p/4K video for free and that is not cheap.
I still remember the Photobucket apocalypse back in the day. One day to the next seemed like internet only had “broken link” images.
Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
A long time.
well, get ready for the imgur equivalent, they’re deleting everything not associated to an account (and all the nsfw pics)
Is this how a recession feels?
Honestly didn’t expect it to be THIS kind of recession
An internet/social media recession, we’re truly living in the 21st century.
Doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing, either. Sometimes a recession is a necessary reset, and maybe it’s time for social media to have one.
This is really fascinating. As usual, the people at the lower end of the economic scale get screwed while the fat cats are mildly inconvenienced. Hopefully we can prop each other up with federation.
It’s going to be a world record speed run at this rate.
If this feels like struggling to feed yourself and your children, scraping to try to pay rent before you’re evicted, desperate to find any job available and scared because you have no options and nowhere to turn, then yes, it feels like a recession.
I’m not sure if it’s dying because this constantly happens. Practically all the image hosts I grew up died ages ago (and many of their replacements, too). Dead image links in older forums are more common than working links. I think it’s very difficult to create a sustainable image and video host, especially when people want to use it mostly in embedded or direct links, which really limits the ability to monetize.
I think websites hosting their own images is often ideal because:
- It will reduce how many places link to an image, since where forums and social media are concerned, so that if the host of the image goes down, so does the place that links to it, avoid the quite frustrating issue of dead links (which can clutter search results in an unhelpful way – search results generally will never be able to find the image without the page that references it, anyway).
- The forum is best able to monetize. Direct links to images on different hosts can’t really be monetized, but if it’s the same host, then it’s just one, obvious host to pay for (and so far, the Fediverse seems to be getting a sustainable amount of donations – heck, I’ve donated $20 to my original host so far myself).
- It ensures that the users of the image are the ones that feel the pain of hosting. When it’s a separate image host, it’s removed from you. But if it’s your Fediverse instance (or reddit or whatever social media), the sustainability is closer to you and thus you’re more likely to donate to help it run or be understanding of things like ads.
That said, the big downsides are inefficiency and tooling. Central hosts meant more efficient caching. Stuff like GIFs in particular are often common memes. I bet the 1000 most common memes are reused by thousands of sites worldwide and thus work great in a CDN (content delivery network – basically a distributed cache for media files). As well, central sites can build embeddable widgets or stuff like GIF keyboards (e.g., the default Android keyboard, GBoard, has GIF support with I think GIPHY and Discord seems to use Tenor). If every site has to host their own, that’s a lot of reinventing the wheel. Common libraries can help, but not to the extent that a managed cloud service can.
As an aside, I wonder if Google and Discord pay for that GIF integration into their products?
The current wave seems more severe due to centralization and coincidence.
Twitter, Reddit, Imgur, Gfycat and a bunch of others seem to all crash themselves practically over night - and the same night at that. And due to centralization/monopolies, that means a significant chunk of the respective niches are gone without a clear replacement. And especially reddit was a niche aggregator.

It’s almost like a system that rewards short-term gains and maximizing profit for the few at the top at the expense of everything else is neither sustainable nor beneficial for the long-term health of the broader environment or community. 🤔
Naa, that can’t be it! Greedy algorithm find the optimal solution, after all!
Ahh I’m sure that’s not a big problem. Let’s keep growing and growing everything! /s
I wonder if the internet, possibly the worlds best accomplishment in cooperation, can survive a post-globalist world?
Perhaps it’s the purist expression of the wave in optimism for liberalised trade before it crested and rolled back out to sea.
I think these services need to think about monetization from the beginning rather than the “make product, get users, ???, Profit”.
TFW Calico Cut Pants has a better business model than 90% of websites in the world. It’s 100% user funded. You gotta give!
If you don’t give, it could go dark
I think the beauty of decentralization is that in many ways monetization doesn’t have to be necessary. Or it can be necessary on a much smaller scale. A big company like Twitter or Reddit or Facebook needs to make money on a massive scale. A small company, like somebody running a big Lemmy instance, doesn’t need to answer to investors who expect a 10x return. They just have to cover their costs and maybe make a buck. So we go back to the old days like when we had independent forums, half of them were just free as a labor of love, the other half had a banner ad or two and maybe some way to support the site by donating. I think we were better off that way.
The utility of twitter, facebook and reddit is their ubiquity. They each, in their own way, became the place you go to find [thing], and federated services will never have that. Discovering mastodon users who aren’t already followed on your instance is hard. Discovering lemmy communities that aren’t already followed on your instance is slightly easier. They’re never going to show up in Local if they’re not local, and they’re never going to show up in All if no local subscribes. Decentralization, even with federation, works against virality, and if there’s not a steady flow of content, then few people bother to sign up.
The instances get exponentially more useful as they get larger, but the costs of operation also get exponentially larger. If lemmy catches on, instances will absolutely grow beyond donations.
I think while Mastodon and Lemmy don’t solve those issues particularly well at the moment I’m still confident they are solvable problems.
As for costs, I don’t think it’ll be that bad. It’s not nearly as expensive if you’re just trying to cover expenses (and not focused entirely on growth and revenue), and if a server does get to a point where the admins are concerned about donations keeping up they can cut off sign ups. Push incoming users to other instances that can handle the extra load (or spin up new ones if no more remain). It won’t be the cleanest process and the inconvenience will make it tough to capture a lot of the potential incoming growth but Lemmy doesn’t need to chase that growth entirely. It can grow at its own pace and handle what it can handle.
Sure but is anyone going to do a labor of love that costs $1000 or more a month. The scale of the net today vs back then isn’t even comparable. So many more users now there is a reason ads are everywhere and companies are closing or selling to the big guys. This is expensive.
I think that number is way too high.
The developers of Lemmy are doing it for free- unlike those of Reddit etc.
That means you just need the server resources to host the instance.
Now if you’re hosting hundreds of thousands of users, then sure it may get expensive. But the whole point is you have a few thousand here, a few thousand there, and thus the load gets greatly distributed.
Instead of 50 servers costing $1000+/mo, you have 500 servers costing $100/mo (or whatever).
And the $1000/mo server can collect enough in donations or simple ad banners to cover their costs.What you’re missing isn’t costs, it’s profits. The little guys, and the big guys, all want to make a lot of money. They don’t want to cover their costs, they want to cover the mortgage on the beach house. Little companies often don’t make enough profit to do that, so they sell to the big guys who will slash costs and service and go profit-focused.
But start to run things with the goal of providing the service rather than the goal of making money and things change drastically. For most of its life, Reddit was ran with the goal of providing the service, which is why it grew so fast. Then a few years ago it shifted to the goal of making money and that’s when things went downhill- because they didn’t have a clue how to actually monetize the service so they pushed the ‘typical buttons’ (aka sell out the users) and of course the users are now pissed off.
But get rid of software dev costs, and look at just the hosting cost, and the number is MUCH lower.
There’s also the fact that we don’t need to host 52MM users. There aren’t going to be 52MM users on Lemmy anytime soon.
Thankfully we won’t need to find out, there’s no evidence that we’re in a post globalist world, or entering one any time soon.
The EU and friendly ties via NATO are a great example, nations are realising more than ever that they must come together and work together to survive, and the Internet continues to make the world smaller, our communities closer.
Not to mention the ever growing essential economic links between nations.
There’s the occasional missteps of course, some xenophobes and fascists in various nations want to close their borders and essentially become North Korea, but that’ll never happen, it would be far, far too damaging for those nations if they actually listened to that vocal minority.
I hope you’re right.
I feel ratcheting tensions. The rise of far right, anti-immigration policies. The new Cold War between China and the Us forcing countries to pick sides. Tariffs. Cyber warfare. Extrajudicial killings.

No but we could have a fractured net instead of a global one. With all countries trying to control it I can’t see it staying the way it is now.
I’m a bit surprised they lasted this long to he honest. How did they make money? Ads?
They make money by selling information about you.
Not a lot of information to sell from a single GET request when an image is embedded on a third party website or app.
Edit: come to think of it, maybe you’re right, and this is in response to 3rd party cookies being phased out pretty much everywhere.
I think you probably nailed it. Firefox and Safari already block 3rd party cookies by default. I think chrome is supposed to sometime this year, and that will cover 95% of most internet users.
And when they combine traffic from you with traffic from others they can infer more info.
To comply with GDPR, they’d need consent for that, and you can’t get consent through an
<img />tag, and I was never asked for consent before seeing a giphy in slack, for example.There are places where they don’t care about GDPR. It is probably relevant in the giphy case but other sites opreate outside the eu.

Oh shit

Hopefully going back to its roots 🤞
I guess it’s just impossible to make these types of large media storage sites profitable. The business model itself is inherently unprofitable despite there being a need for these sites. Like youtube will never bring a cent back to google, but they keep running it because it locks people into their ecosystem for data harvesting.
Could also be that snap bought gfycat just to kill it.
Storage is just the loss leader of the internet, really. Companies will take the loss for access to the data.
Free storage. Backblaze is doing just fine.
That is why I called it a loss leader. It is meant to attract people to the ecosystem (hence free), not be the product itself. Of course if you are appropriately creating, pricing, and selling low cost storage as a business model, you will nail it.
And hosting
Eh, your average bear isn’t doing a bunch of hosting. Sure there are folks who do, but the vast majority of the population does not give a shit about hosting. They do care when you interrupt their photo/video storage, though.
And hosting
YouTube is very profitable now. MEGA is probably profitable.
Youtube is definitely bringing back a profit to Google. Probably not huge, but definitely far from 0% return.
Now they did have to shove way more ads in there to make it happen.
Having an acceptable ratio between ads and a big media storage seems pretty much impossible, unless subscription based which most people can’t really afford.
deleted by creator
Well a lot of people expect everything to be free too.
But while I can afford to pay for my email provider and a few services, there is a large population that is struggling to even pay their rent.
This is it, really. When people are living paycheck to paycheck which most people are there really just isn’t money to go around to be paying for all these services. The money that could’ve gone to subscription has been taken by increasing costs of groceries
At least Google is smart enough to not put limit caps on video views or posts.
Youtube literally tried to limit 4k videos to paying subscribers but abandoned it(for now)
I don’t think that’s what they meant. I’m pretty sure it was a reference to twitter limiting the number of posts a user can see.
Though it seems google is going to limit the number of videos someone can see if they have an adblocker installed.
Well of course, the algorithm does that so YouTube doesn’t have to lol
They aren’t profitable currently because of the race to the bottom are free sites funded by cheap venture capital are able to succeed drive out all the ones that actually have sustainable business models.
What’s going to happen here in the very near future is the sites that charge you to upload, were you actually have to pay for your usage of the internet are going to pop up and then they will sustain themselves for longer periods of time.
Growth phase is over on the internet,
Could also be that snap bought gfycat just to kill it.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
Why compete when it’s cheaper to buy then shut down your competitors?
I’m not surprised. How can this be sustainable? Images are embedded in the websites with no way for Gfycat to make any revenue.
As far as I know, companies like Gfycat make money by selling API access to different apps. Like say in a messaging app likeTelegram or Signal. The easiest way for them to integrate a gif search and send function inside of messages is through API access to Gfycat’s servers. Gfycat then charges them for this streamlined integration and access.
That plus selling user data or ads on their website means they will have some revenue. I dont know if its enough to keep them afloat. Since they are shutting down, I’m guessing it didnt pan out so well.
sounds like they should have asked u/spez for some advice on API pricing. /s
Wait, gfycat collects user data whenever I use one of their gifs? https://media.giphy.com/media/5eFp76zhsq3uw/giphy.gif
Not through the API call, but elsewhere like when you make an account on their website etc
It sure as hell lasted a long time though
This past year in particular has really hammered it in for me that even if you can never truly delete something from the internet, it doesn’t mean it’ll still be there when you’re looking for it. Saving a link to something is not saving it at all, and I’m starting to become a data hoarder.
Man, I really feel like the internet is under a major shake up at the moment. Feels weird.
edit: spelling
Unfortunately, big tech has been expending millions (edit: more like billions, maybe trillions) in currency and talent to figure out how to make all-you-can-eat video and images turn a profit. Apparently, it just can’t happen at a global scale even when it’s lousy with ads and personal data collection.
So, get ready to open your wallet. We’ll probably see more and more such services moving to paid-for subscriptions. (IMO)
Which most people won’t be able to afford. You can’t have a gazillion subscription services running, it’s just not going to happen. You can already see the VOD services self destruct over this. It started all with just Netflix, one site to rule them all. That was fine and a real alternative to pirated content like torrents & illegal streams. But now we have Amazon, and Disney, and an endless amount of other ones, all wanting their ~15 bucks per month (which some consider too low) to offer you a couple exclusive titles, all spread out over the various suppliers. You’d have to be rich to afford that or go through the hassle of constantly switching service, at which point you might as well just shell out the 5 bucks for Mullvad and go back to piracy.
Feels like someone pressed the self-destruct button for The Internet, eh?
Feels weird.
My man, I know there’s gotta be other schadenfreudes, schadenfreudians? out there like me who are loving it tho.
Schadenfreudler /ˈʃɑː.dɘnˌfrɔ͜ɪd̥.lɘr/
If you don’t know how to read IPA, roughly “SHAAH-then-FROYD-ler”
Btw: I just constructed this word based on my native speaker intuition. I doubt that you can find it in a dictionary, because it’s not something one would force into a single word. A more natural way to say what you mean would be “Leute, die (hier) (auch) Schadenfreude empfinden”, which translates to “people who (also) feel Schadenfreude (here)”.
It’s actually pronounced more like “Skoodenfroodi”
I used Gfycat (before uploads broke) all the time mainly for its silent autoplay in Discord to share gaming clips with my friends. Any alternatives? Or am I now just slapping my vids straight into Discord?
Not sure what would prevent you to do that, but you can post video in discord that plays inline.

I mean, how can you monetize free image hosting?
Not in a greedy capitalist way, but simply paying for servers, developers and coffee. There’s hardly any revenue stream in image hosting. So a pivot to a more social media like site makes sense.
Not sure if folks have realized we’re at the end game of free internet money.
Oh tell me about it and it is effecting everything. Podcasts are being canceled or networks are talking about canceling shows. Every podcast I listen to talks about how ad money is drying up and that is probably the reason sites are closing down.
