Most likely kbin.
If weβre talking about a timeline where the Fediverse was never created, then Iβd probably just be on Twitch for socializing and RSS feeds for news.

No lemmy, no mastodon? Uuuhh...back to IRC, some forum maybe.
PS: Matrix/Element looks like a pretty good FOSS alternative to discord.
probably just use Reddit via the browser, a lot less than I normally would
Someone will make a Lemmy analog or an existing system will take its place. There's bound to be someone taking the opportunity to fill the vacuum.
Tildes is nice, just a bit quieter and fewer beans.
Iβd probably be doing my job
Cold and dark under the looming shadow of reddit
I honestly think the world would be a better place if technology didnβt exist at all.
I'll have to disagree. Technology is a vague term, technology can encompass anything. Technological advancement is what allowed people to live longer, to explore more of the world, to communicate with many people around the world. It's why we don't die from some random cut.
If you mean as in phones, computers, and the internet. Well, you used to have to go to a library and find a book in order to get information, now you can do a simple search on the internet. You can find any food recipes, fix broken things inside your home, find out how human anatomy works without the embarassment of asking a person, find out how... erm... reproduction works, even though school was supppsed to teach that in science class, don't think some kid is gonna ask the teacher if he didn't understand something in class about it. You can order food over the phone, and now even via the internet (yes its expensive af, but the option is there). If you didn't understand something in school, internet to the rescue again. There's is so many wonderful things about the internet.
Yes there are downsides, but in my opinion, the benefits are better than the negative consequences.
Iβve heard this argument before. I guess I just think Iβd be happier if I was more ignorant. I think most people would be too. Does knowing all these things really make our lives better? Sure we live longer, but does that really matter? Iβd rather die dumb, young, and happy than smart, old, and miserable.
Very few people, in any time period, ever died happy. Historically, you usually died of starvation, childbirth, an agonizing disease like smallpox, or a marauder's sword.
Meh, I love my youtube videos, random movies and tv shows, talking to random strangers online, video games, and various fun things. Better than some newspaper or radios, or worse, before newspapers and radios, people didn't have anything to do. I mean for extroverts they might talk to people irl, but what is an introvert like me gonna do? Technology is good, tech monopolies/oligopolies are bad.
No, it wouldn't. Pre-industrial life was painful, hungry, violent, hopeless, uninformed, and short. You were lucky to live to 20 years old, let alone 60.
Probably Raddle.me. it seems like a somewhat privacy focused version of Reddit that has their terms of service has a section against bigotry and far right ideology.
Unfortunately there isn't a mobile app though.
Still on reddit... may be..
Iβm ashamed to say Iβm still using Reddit
Using Squabbles.
There's always alternatives.
And if there aren't, they arise.
I've always played with reddit alternative ideas too. But finding time and commitment is an issue.
Be playing some mindless phone game on my 5am trek to work.
Probably still be using reddit I'd just be substantially more embittered
kbin or reddit (disappointingly)
Forums and RSS feeds, same as the old days. I've already gone back to RSS feeds to supplement Lemmy and to find good articles to share on Lemmy.
