I believe I started on Netscape 2. Spent a ton of time on 4.7. Tried the post-AOL releases but did not like them at all. Eventually settled on SeaMonkey until Firefox matured enough to become my daily.

The prevailing opinion now seems to be that FF has improved itself and is no longer the hog it was considered. Chrome on the other hand used to be a great lightweight browser and is now gaining the rep FF is shedding

Baconreader user here. Same fate as the rest of the good apps. Trying out Jeroba for the Fediverse. Seems nice so far.

Unlike the Reddit vs Digg situation, there’s no mature product to mass migrate to. Digg collapsed because Reddit was an easy move over. There was already a polished alternative.

The Fediverse is great, and has a lot a of promise, but it’s not fully developed and easy to move to. Us migrants are building it out now.

Reddit will lose it’s soul. It’s been showing signs for ages anyways. Spez wants to create a doom-scroll “social network” that caters towards the TikTok and Facebook crowd. That kind of cancer has been creeping in for a while anyways.

The core of Reddit was always the discussion. The niche communities where you had real enthusiasts. You could get your retro gaming PC diagnosed. Trade parts for your imported Honda Beat. Ask questions about utility locating. That’s the heart and soul. And also the hardest thing to move.

Digg is just a newspaper now. Not a community aggregator. There’s no soul. It became a domain. You can’t Digg or bury. You can’t even comment anymore. That’s where they’d like to take Reddit. It doesn’t require effort or mods. Just a like button.

They pulled the plug at exactly 00:00 UTC. Didn’t give a shit about timezones. Or their home turf of NA to be into July 1st. They did it as soon as any point on Earth was in July 1st.

Just a big ole middle finger to the users who wanted their last night

I’ve always enjoyed the midrange Motorola phones. Starting with my Moto X4 and on with the Moto one series.

The pixel camera is superior, but I’m currently using a Moto one 5g and it’s quad camera setup hasn’t let me down.

I’ve had the same issue lately. When I first joined things worked great. Hopefully it’s not too much longer before things are resolved.
