Dbzero seemed good until they mentioned anarchism and anti-right-wing directives which means it’s a leftist-first instance and that’s a no-go even if I do support their cause.

if you’re on Android just use xManager
That yellow background is so unreadable 🍌
a duty to keep these spaces active Redditors rely on these spaces for information, support, entertainment, and connection.
I thought it was private property lmao. Conversation spaces shouldn’t act as public plazas when they’re private.
try wooden mulch, it does wonders in drier climates.
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) with lots of replacement parts running LineageOS. Still a solid daily driver.
Sadly there are very little modern options of suitable small Android phones.
They already crippled the mobile site years ago and put login walls from a long while ago, way before the pandemic. old.reddit.com was the only thing that let me skip it. They deserve to die out.
Good thing I decided to move to lemmy.world. Seems shady.
It makes me hopeful for the future. Enthusiasts priming the pump for people embracing a more sustainable and less exploitative business model to organize the Internet. Instead of putting all the information on a big centralized locked down platform we share the load and costs between instances.
I love what is happening now, it is pretty much the biggest display of resistance against big tech I’ve ever seen in my life by a long shot. I’ve seen most of the internet gradually decay to a shadow of its former self so this is a return to form and a switch to a better model in the long run.
People are finally adopting the Fediverse and if the adoption rates keep up we might start going mainstream with all the advantages and disadvantages, but it will be alright since Lemmy is both federated and FLOSS. Lemmy is a Rust-based, AGPLv3 platform and that means it will be protected against corruption in the foreseable future, I hope.
EDIT: Over 30% of Reddit already went dark!
Yeah, it’s rotten to the core sadly. For all I care archive the important info and let it burn…
This lifecycle has a name now and it’s enshittification :the cycle of internet platforms starting out as open seamless spaces of discourse to lure users and then welding the gates shut to then appease advertisers and shareholders drastically lowering the quality of life and discourse
Return in all aspects to how it used to be in 2014 or earlier, but it will never happen because enshittification cannot be reverted.
That includes the bloated inefficient new design that includes an intentionally hostile mobile website that shits the bed on 3G connections, the echo chamber machinery, random layout shifts, NSFW login walls, automated censorship and shadowbanning, the privileges for the big subreddits and the big sponsored powermods.
I have nothing against Canada itself but it being a US core ally means it’s not safe for piracy.
