Latest #Reddit news (basically charging a ridiculous price that makes 3rd party apps non-viable) serves as yet another reminder of why Mastodon and the #Fediverse are beautiful! Even if someone wants to ruin things, you can always change instances/apps/defederate and keep using this tool, it’s not in the hands of anyone. 6 comments
  @fantinel I've seen the de-evolution of services like YT, Netflix and all the streaming services, Real estate websites, social media websites like Strava and Instagram, etc. They all want to just hit you with a wall of shit you don't care about and hide everything that might actually interest you. I don't understand it. I just quit using them. @fantinel Years ago, software developers were asked to be mindful of the "bus factor," as in how many people your project of choice could afford to get hit by a bus, before the remaining people were lost. We all need to look at the corporate version of this, now: How much money would it cost to change this organization's direction in a way that will make it less acceptable? You basically have three models: Corporations, non-profits, and federated systems, and the first has no protections... |
