Methinks you have been so busy trying to fight that you didn't realise that nobody else is fighting.
However, there's a slight issue with 'still being connected to the wider internet' as I don't see results for Lemmy content appearing in my searches the way Reddit content comes up.
So it feels rather like a sci-fi movie when you've had too many mushrooms - kind of bright, but a bit confused...
However, it does help focus that idea that - if we are going to have interesting discussions and create information which is archived - it shouldn't be inside Reddit, and it should be accessible by search.
So Lemmy is half way there...
The search engines are increasingly becoming enshitified anyway. I no longer think being found on Google is going to be the hallmark of success long term it was purported to be. We need a new search paradigm. And I don't just mean reinventing search engines. I mean new ways of organizing content and answering search queries. Or better funding models for indexed search.
I think we need decentralized search, or rather federated search if possible. Something akin to Lemmy and kbin for search. I'm not sure what the implementation would look like, but it needs to happen I think.
No wait! I've just moved in! I missed all the fight!
I mean... can't you just do a little??? 🥺
Just wait a few days till some people overreact to something and call for defederating an entire instance due to it

Feels almost like going back in time, to the earlier days of the net. IRC, XMPP, Usenet… all distributed.
