Digg:

It had potential, but after becoming an ai news aggregator now there's none.

Lemmy:

Low engagement / kinda dead. Also, I have heard that the growth is slowing down(somebody pls provide a citation for this).

Besides that, it's pretty much reddit, for better or for worse.

9gag:

I just made a post there, my first impressions are not good. Got insulted and my post got removed. Now, that might have something to do with me not understanding how the website works, but only time will tell. I will spend more time there to see if it's worth anything.

Sorry to necro this a little bit. I'm curious how this view deals with waste heat.

Right now, with the current waste heat our cumalitive technology usage as it stands today, without factoring in global climate change, wool be enough to boil the oceans in 200 years or so.

Given that, it seems likely that any progress that is required to not have us suffer an ecological based Apocalypse would necessarily require degrowth, right

Energy can be made more efficiently with less waste being given off as heat, and renewable sources can generate less heat and even have a cooling effect on the Earth in some cases. "Degrowth" as a movement is different from cutting largely unnecessary production, like fast fashion, it implies focusing on small scale production with presently capable methods, even if developing technology and using larger scale production can be more green.
