I only found the Strut when I was looking for mixes and the level of knowledge about obscure shit, in one place, with most people happy to share, is what I'll miss. You could say "I liked this Booker Ervin track, what else is like this?" and get answers that were utterly accurate - whereas the algorithms we have surrendered our agency too will just bat out more by the same artist, or the big names in the genre.
Forums preserve history, and social media despises history - forever with the new content. FB would have you forget yesterday like it was just another cup of poor, overpriced coffee. It's what's known as "Enshittification" and there's a great breakdown on the whole process here:

"The Netheads were right: Technological self-determination is at odds with the natural imperatives of tech businesses. They make more money when they take away our freedom—our freedom to speak, to leave, to connect.For many years, even TikTok's critics grudgingly admitted that no matter how surveillant and creepy it was, it was really good at guessing what you wanted to see. But TikTok couldn't resist the temptation to show you the things it wants you to see rather than what you want to see. The enshittification has begun, and now it is unlikely to stop.It's too late to save TikTok. Now that it has been infected by enshittifcation, the only thing left is to kill it with fire."I understand that to RAJ, and to many others, it's run its course because their lives don't revolve around it like they used to. The maintenance and engagement numbers don't warrant spending valuable time on. It doesn't make him anything in exchange for his time and RAJ has the family and grown folks shit to deal with, as many who have been here a long time will now have.By the same token, I wouldn't want someone else to take the reins and turn it into something else because I personally like the pace of it, and it should be a testament to the work RAJ has put in. I wouldn't mind it being busier but people never put down their phones and will never find it. I guess once life gives us more time back we will long for it, but it's been a blast.Has anyone got the authority on Reddit to create a strut subreddit?
