Apollo user here, can confirm: I really love its interface. Wiped the Reddit account nevertheless.
Technically correct is the best correct?
Uplike for casual use of the exclamation “egads”, and would you please tell me what browser script(s) you used? I’d be much obliged!
Many of the users there appear to be unconcerned about their future ability to access the platform they’re currently on that allows them to express how unconcerned they are about their future ability to access the platform.
Being federated, I too, am as unconcerned about what happens to them and their platform as they appear to be.
For the users that do care, hopefully they will care enough about their future selves to get federated as well, despite the understandable urge to cling to what is dying.
Get federated (until the fediverse gets enshittified) or get your platform monetized into uselessness.
I agree that there’s a currenct hard push for massive enshittification, so I think we’d better be ready and able to 1) embrace federation, 2) advance it to a degree that BigTech can’t keep up with (FTL speed), 3) pay actual money for it ourselves to ourselves, and 4) do what we must to enshrine anti-enshittification systems into the fabric of this new direction of online society.
Doggo’s just waiting for no one to be looking…
damn baud rate
I’ve been looking for an alternative for a while now, and am quite sure I’ve found it.
It may be separate from the API issue, but the purpose is still the same: to monetize your eyeballs at the expense of everything else.
I sub to them all, and then order the communities to fight each other. The last community standing is the winner. Surprisingly, none of this has ever happened yet.
Give it time, eventually most new users that plan to stay will move off to other
Wow, it is impressive to watch subs go dark in solidarity and their names light up green! Well done to all of them! 🤘
That explains why I like it here.
Older audience member here. I remember seeing the DOS 2.0 box sitting on my grandfather’s shelf, and him teaching me hours to use the CLI to make in inventory of my baseball cards.
I must’ve been about 5-6 years old then, and I later got to experience the absolute magic of 14.4 and still later that fad of whatever those .mp3 things were supposed to be…
I left reddit and made the effort to learn how these newfangled federal sites work, and I’ll keep at it. Never did quite understand what that clock social platform was about, or why the youngers like it so much, though suspect that’s by design.
This could fall under the umbrella term of EETs: Enhanced Enshittification Techniques.
Even more targeted advertising aimed at reddit users.
Corporations doing shady shit to keep their revenue streams from being interrupted is par for the course these days. Thanks for posting, now I know not to use Deezer.
