I have nothing against Canada itself but it being a US core ally means it’s not safe for piracy.

Dbzero seemed good until they mentioned anarchism and anti-right-wing directives which means it’s a leftist-first instance and that’s a no-go even if I do support their cause.

Back in 2014 you just bought a spare and replaced it, nowadays they all want to play the same bullshit games Apple innovated on. It was was about time an authority that ruled over a market with significant purchasing power made a decision against it.

You paid $100 for a battery replacement!?!? My Galaxy S7’s second battery cost us $12!

I enjoyed helping this place grow and doing my part to discuss here but I disagree with this decision and I’m going to evaluate looking for a different home instance.

Enshittification is fueled by normies NEVER LEARNING.

Boo hoo, I am so stressed! I can only fly in a gold plated private jet instead of a rhodium plated one. The west has fallen, trillions must fly

if you’re on Android just use xManager

That yellow background is so unreadable 🍌

Nutjobs should just be ignored, as much as I dislike leftists Meta is an actual massive threat to Fedi.

There was a project called Yacy but it clearly never took off.

just like RSS feeds did not become mainstream while Reddit did, the current state of the fediverse will not gain mainstream popularity; however, it’ll serve as a stepping stone towards a new federated internet that’ll be seamless and intuitive for non-technically-inclined individuals and those who are indifferent to the implications for privacy and digital freedom.

97% of people will only jump from walled garden 1 to walled garden 2

97% chance of being EEE. Suddenly everyone will be coming to the Fediverse but not because they’re interested but to talk to people on Threads. Then they’re going to deviate from the AP spec slowly and become the de facto standard and so on. Or they’re going to pull a Google Chat.

Sadly people will still jump there. It will eventually overtake Mastodon in numbers because people are dependent on the convenience of walled gardens.

Back when I was a teenager I had the blind optimism the future would be bright and we would keep all the positive trends we had in the early 2010s.

The next closest one is the only one open in Atlanta and it’s exploding heads.

full of pilk

No more VC free money + enshittification
