    • effective API shutdown for everyone but themselves to force users onto their objectively worse own app that is filled with ads and telemetry.
    • shadowbanning and even real banning for flimsy reasons. Banning whole communities because they think it pleases shareholders.
    • AI agents that pollute and distort the discourse. Like posts with 10k upbotes and 5 comments.

    That and essentially all the additional things that come with an IPO. All corporate owned social media has gone to shit sooner or later. Most platforms didn’t even make it that far.







  • I am on Fedora as well and have used the microsoft wireless dongle with the medisalix/xone kernel module in the past, but i stopped using it since it had me pull and plug the dongle once every while to make it work again.

    Nowadays i just use bluetooth (with my xbox one and xbox series x controller). You actually don’t need any additional packages for that. Three things to consider about this:

    • You possibly have to upgrade the controller firmware with an atrocious app on a windows machine
    • pairing is a nightmare (needed an hour for one controller always trying until the pairing completed)
    • You need to set some bluetooth settings in a config file for Bluetooth LE timings since the microsoft team thought it would be funny to not let the controller advertise the right configurations.

    All that said, once paired and configured it just works ™. Feel free to reach out if you need further information.
