More like forced into it by these multiple “once-in-a-lifetime” economic crisis.

BofA deez nutz!

I had read this in another thread, but radio was one of the first (if not first) media form to be entshittified. Decades before we even had a term for it.

I’m about to hear a lot more of José “hongos mágicos” Rogan outside of the internet now.

Appreciate it, bud!

I just hope it gives them ideas. fingers crossed

Just like my totally real prescriptions.

And you agent is probably like, “wtf is a lemming?”

I’ll add to that.

Shit is geo-locked to certain countries and I can’t access it. 🏴‍☠️ Raise it.

I’m talking about GNAR KILL!

WWWAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH WWWWAAAAHHH WAAAAAHHH WAAAHHH

You all were hooking up?

I thought those were people pushing OF content. Or if it was happening, it was only in really big cities.

I think unlimited texting was a thing in the US since like early to mid 2000s. It was never the case down here (probably still isn’t, since nobody uses it).

In fact, by the time cell phones became ubiquitous down here, it was around the time smart phones were launching. So with regular SMS being expensive, everyone just started using WhatsApp. I think back in the day the app was $1.

It’s kind of fucked-up that Zuckerberg has so much power over people’s businesses, study groups, family communications, neighborhood watches, et al. He could put ads on WhatsApp tomorrow, and people will probably take it, because humans are stubborn and like familiarity in general. I could stop using it today, but I would not be able to participate in a lot of things in society.

You can see it now in Reddit and Twitter. They’ve been completely entshittified and people are still there. In fact, we got people on Lemmy wanting to brigade and participate in r/place and give engagement to that shit-sipper Spez, so he can use the metrics on his damn IPO.

Yeah, my bad. Mlem is bugging out and it seemed like it didn’t post it at all.

As someone from Latin America. FUCK!

It’s literally what everyone uses for business, family/friends groups. Don’t know if any country around here is an exception, but we started using it because greedy telecoms were charging so much money for SMS at the time. So, it was a great way to circumvent that.

Then Facebook bought it when it was already established, so it’s improbable that people will move away from it.

I go there for a couple of smaller subreddits I still visit (barely starting out on Lemmy, tough). But a lot of content seems to be slowing down, like 2 day-old threads on the home tab (I only go on desktop with adblockers).

This is obviously anecdotal, and have no numbers to back it up. We’ll have to see how it goes into the future. Reddit just keeps pissing off their core users time and time again.

I haven’t tried Pixelfed yet. I just got into the Fediverse and several instances on Lemmy. So I’ll eventually try Pixelfed. But 500px and Flickr seemed kind of dead to me. Vero and Vsco, I’ve heard mixed things, but also ghost-towns.

It’s to the point in IG that not even close friends nor family, see what I post. Adam Mosseri and Mark can fuck right off.

If it wasn’t for my photography, I’d delete instagram. Holy shit is it pay-to-play a cesspool. And I’m being targeted for ads for all kinds of ponzi schemes and crypto and FOREX scams. Probably from watching Coffeezilla videos.

We’ll see how Lemmy picks up. I’m really liking it, thus far. Right now we’re looking at Reddit like a former, toxic partner that we want to spite. Lately I was just going on the World News, Ukraine war mega thread.

I just hope my wad of hundreds is enough to include popcorn and drinks.
