Eggbug was here. Eggbug mattered.

RIP Cohost 2024. You were the best social media site to have ever been done. Long live eggbug. If you're seeing this in the future, on some archive, be kind to others. It's the only way things get better.

Bigger giants have been felled by less, but not a good year ahead for the longer-surviving socials media.


And look, I know it's fub and popular to rightfully dunk on Reddit for being a shithole, but once you do your filtering and subreddit selection and such, it's basically a set of giant forums that churns out a LOT of good, useful news on topics, and it has searchable post history. That's leagues better than Discord, or many other near unsearchable, free-hosted forums.

There's a reason many good search results only ne autofill "+ Reddit" as a suffix to a query. Does that negate the bad? No. Would it be a global loss if Reddit stopped being useful?

I think yes.

Same goes for YouTube. All backslides and glaring issues knowingly aside, YT is a repository of knowledge, and to lose its functionality would be awful.
