I’m a sub to their services and use it for travel and getting UK shows on BBC that don’t come to the US. Works great and no complaints.

I was paying for it at a legacy price still but that gets wiped out with this I guess. Canceled.

That’s partly because of actions taken by various governments. Who knows what tech would look like today if Microsoft from the 90s forced us all into Internet Explorer.

Also, more successful examples would be Google. They have done this very thing several times but then keep messing it up lol

The only way the Fediverse gets ready is by going thru the growing pains that Reddit had to when we all fled from Digg. It also wasn’t ready then but the community stepped up and became mods and built apps and made it awesome. We will do it again… and this time it’ll be distributed and much harder for one person to screw over all of us

What’s with every big tech company trying to destroy their userbase this year?

I moved off a while ago at this point… I still have to use some of it because of work being on G-Suites but otherwise my personal stuff has moved.
