glad someone else is feeling this. it's really strange and depressing seeing so many good things collapse within the year. and we're getting no wins whatsoever
Well, I count finding Lemmy as an absolute win
Federated piracy isn't just next, I'd argue it's almost the only solution.
Why, what happened? Did some big piracy site get shut down?
Honestly I'm somewhere between "average person" and "ultra nerd" so the fact that I am finally too fed up with reddit and leaving for mastodon and lemmy makes me think more people will do likewise. I call that a win.
The "enshitification" of the web recently feels almost coordinated. Factually; it is not coordinated; it's just bad luck.
Still stinks though. Society still has not learned that allowing capitalism to run rampantly unchecked is generally causing these issues.
Even within a month
I dunno. Reddit has been pretty toxic ever since 2016. Browsing Lemmy instead is undoubtedly good for my blood pressure.
