I’m warming up to it. Actually, I was never not warm to it, but the learning curve is real. I am on the website right now because the iOS app MLem, which is in beta, doesn’t (as far as I can tell) have a way to search for other communities. But I want to shout that creator out, because I think it’s difficult, thankless work, and I really appreciate their effort. The fact there is an app for iOS at all is a wonderful start. Who knows how solid it will be a year from now?
They’ve been making their mobile site hard to use and blocking most utility with a “you really need our fucking app” popup for years now. I can’t imagine how they could make it worse.
Right like how you can’t copy images from Pinterest, a site that populates all your Google Image searches. Like you fuckers didn’t create this content. You just got people to upload it to your site then blocked anyone else from accessing it without a membership and a share link.
Enshittification.
This post caused me to install Memmy. Been using Mlem. I think there’s a lot of potential there but for now Memmy looks like a better fit for me.
Nah. Haha. 11 years. Always appreciated the content but never got attached to the platform. I feel right at home here on Lemmy and I’m not looking back. Only big concern is whether fediverse content can take the place of Reddit content when it comes to googling.
Speaking as someone who never really plugged into Twitter much in the first place: the notion that tweets have any sort of real value and that putting caps on consuming them is a meaningful control measure is the funniest fucking thing. Like no doubt he I actually trying to ruin it, that’s happening. But this is clearly supposed to elicit some kind of reaction, and I just can’t imagine feeling like, “oh, no, this only 600?” 600 of what? Brainfarts? Serious ideas that, if they were written by serious people would be in a long form medium? It’s like saying “you can go to the grocery store but you can only buy 60 chew toys for your dog per day”. Like, okay, I wasn’t going to do that anyway and I think it’s funny that you thought I was going to, or that I’d care about this new limitation.
