so do we also know why they're shutting down?

Extinguished by Snap(chat), as it's a competitor

They've never found a viable business model.

That means I have to go on gfycat and start saving all the funny Planetside GIFs recorded over the years. Sad times :(

Share them with me I love Planetside!

Things should be hosted on IPFS

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think the same. I wonder if lemmy (and other fediverse applications) will one day support ipfs. It would also be cool if cloud storage providers started to support the protocol so you could make your cloud storage (some of it or all) into an ipfs node.

There's an experimental reddit alternative called plebbit that uses ipfs so people are exploring it

No, the death of the internet that killed the old Internet continues.

edit: and maybe that's a good thing.
