yes. they're "censoring" algorithms designed to create engagement=profit, which are causing massive harm to society. i don't see anything wrong with it at all. and like you, i'm on the fediverse because there isn't an algorithm, our exposure is curated by us, not by engagement-bot-5.
bs. discord is absolute trash for anything but live chatting. it does nothing different from plain old irc with a bnc and bots. they just took irc and made it easy for stupid people to use and slapped voice comm on top; which also already existed. using it as an archive, broadcast and support system is like trying to use a hammer to screw in a screw. people just use discord because people use discord. just like people just use facebook because people use facebook.
if you want to manage a community, you should use discourse. it's the most modern alternative. if you want a public chat, use any chat you want that supports public chat, the only difference between all of them is what level of privacy they provide.
we have phones that don't break easily and we can repair them and replace the battery; with long-term support.
what we need are laws that makes it mandatory for all.
except in theory they can borrow from the bank with their stock as leverage and would never actually need to liquidate anything (and they do just that).
Nah, AI is probably the greatest thing that could've happened to our ever increasing enshittification of the corporate web. All it's doing currently is just destroying algorithms that never served genuine content anyway, as neither the algorithms, nor AI, can be used for anything relevant. Google really dug their own hole on this.
I saw the writings on the wall and quit the SEO business two years back because of exactly this reason.
To be beholden on the whims of google is not a foundation to build a business around. If your entire "business" is based on collecting breadcrumbs handed to you from google compared to what they generate on what you do, your business isn't a business, it's an employment, to google, without a contract. Where they have every right to fire you at any moment when they see fit.
it was already made public in the lawsuit some weeks ago that they are indeed slowing down youtube for firefox.
eh? do people still use reddit even? last i heard they have employees actively create threads now to try and keep engagement going.
ah yes, because sailing the high seas was only a trend and had nothing to do with how much actual content netflix offered originally.
with less on netflix. the split to all these services. and themselves cutting their offerings. how the hell do they imagine people won't look elsewhere?
talk about bad decision making process lol.
discord literally having a concurrent controversy (the name change); and they feel it good to go there?
besides. discord is useless as a reddit replacement. discord is not indexed and you cannot retrieve the data publicly; much like facebook groups which would be the same thing. i mean; who doesn't (or didn't) use +reddit in their google searches for the past 2 years?
discord has also been bleeding users lately.
and, it's another corporation. worse than reddit. with a poor track record.
but sure! let's move to there! sounds brilliant! i'm sure all will be well!
...what's next, facebook groups?
they'd never do that. then they'd be killing the housing bubble as well. think of the investors!

nah, it's basically my experience with flatpak and snaps on ANY distro on ANY machine. the fact that everyone's moving to this crap is beyond me. Am I the only person on the planet that expects a modern computer to run snappier than a PC from early 2000? sure seems like it sometimes, especially when pretty much any software released since 2018 runs electron. Hell, now every manufacturer is moving to ARM like it's some revolutionary hardware - no, it just vastly improved energy usage AT THE EXPENSE OF PERFORMANCE. we might as well stick with what we have and just pump less energy into the damn thing and have the exact same results.
blimey.
I get the convenience; I do ...but it can't possibly be worth the sacrifices?? sigh.
the day of coders who knew what they were doing is long since gone. now it's just click and play frameworks to pump out garbage and oversaturate the ecosystem.
