I don't understand the point in reporting global tech topics in Australian Tech - it seems redundant to me.

While I agree at some level my experience of seeing local user groups disappear, regional mailing lists go dead, forums shut down because facebook groups or reddit exist is that local communities matter and we are all far poorer for losing them.

The corporate global Internet is not the same. It is a regression and it is very vulnerable to bad faith actors. This isn't much better but if its a step towards reclaiming what we once had then perhaps we should encourage it.

It's a global issue. But I'm happy to see a local discussion about it. I am much more likely to participate here.
