Why should the enshittification stop at the internet? Let’s enshittify the whole world for good measure.

for security reasons.

AKA to boost sales of new devices by making old devices unusable faster by preventing the user from upgrading storage.

A basic awareness test is built into the fediverse, you have to choose an instance to sign up on in order to create an account and participate. This filters out everyone whose intellectual capacity doesn’t go further than tapping “install” in their smartphone’s app store.

I prefer quality over quantity. Spammers, advertisers, “influencers”, brainless users consumers who can’t tell the difference between an “app” and a website, and other “mainstream” phenomena can stay in their corporate internet cesspits. Their absence alone makes a platform a lot more pleasant to use.

10 years here, haven’t modded anything and was mostly active in a few relatively niche subreddits, so, unfortunately, currently Lemmy can’t fill the void quitting Reddit left (yet), but still not looking back.

Not giving the corporate fucks at Reddit any more free content. If you’re living off the community, don’t shit on the community.

Use an ad blocker and the traffic is of little value to them. Especially if it only goes to /r/place and doesn’t allow to create much of a profile.

It would be a shame if someone conspired to coordinate such a thing…

The thing is, the AFD, apart from being Nazis, are also neoliberal. Only an idiot (who also likes Nazis) will vote for them over disliking neoliberalism.

Didn’t delete my account, just overwrote all my comments with a message to corporate Reddit and Spez in particular and deleted my posts. Didn’t want to delete mainly because a deletion can happen for any reason, I rather wanted to send a message that can be seen.

Regrets? Yes, but overall it was worth it.
