DeGoogle Yourself

Yeah that rec shocked me. Bandcamp surely if possible is best for the artist.

Seriously. They donated millions to the trump campaign and barely pay artists pennies.

The music space is one of the biggest things we're lacking platforms for right now for sure. I've shifted over to Tidal for the time being, but I swear I'm just tempted to go back to local files at this point.

Yeah it makes no sense to me how dumb people can be. Like

"Yeah let's move away from one proprietary social media that got enshitified to another proprietary social media that will definitely enshitify"

I don't know how many times people have to learn the exact same lesson before they finally figure it out but I think there's a fucking quote about that.

When you implement OOP the right way, it can have decent privacy. Up to the coder, really.

yeah everything you post on Mastodon is public. I assume this is about the data being collected on you, which Mastodon doesn't do, there's no telemetry and such.

dissatisfied with this formerly-popular social media platform that experienced a hostile fascist takeover and enshittification? Join us on this currently-popular social media platform that will undergo the same event in seven years! Because how are we supposed to make profits by learning from our mistakes?

Blue sky has an algorithm, people really want their algorithms. They don't want to have to go and search out all of the content, they want to be spoon-fed. When Twitter exploded and Mastodon had their API gate, a lot of journalists and celebrities tested out the water on Mastodon but over time they slowly bled over and end up in Bluesky.

I'm not saying that Mastodon can't survive without an algorithm but they don't make any attempt to deliver content to a person that they find relevant. It's all organic discovery and that's very 00's ish.

Bandcamp might have been bought out by Epic Games, but the platform has given me magnitudes more money for my music than every other streaming platform combined.

At least Youtube Music can be used with third-party clients.

Yeah, I had to check the decision making process there, it's just that it's not American.

I don't think I have ever seen a worse sourced Wikipedia section. I agree with the general sentiment but holy shit I'm suprised that whole section hasn't just been thrown out.

Edit: checked the talk page apparently it was one of the students edited ones which explains why it reads like an essay I rushed out the night before the due date.

Yes we do.

We even have laws that say we can't say we received a request on an individual level not a company level which means we aren't suppose to tell our lawyers.

ACAB: All CEOs Are Bastards. You can switch to another corporation, but their CEO will also be a bourgeois bastard. Tim Apple attended Trump’s inauguration.

If we're judging all products by the personalities of people who run them we'd have nothing left lol

It doesn't recommend using reddit. It recommends moving from reddit to lemmy.

And so are the rest of them.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
