@MxVerda @BrodieOnLinux @qdot Well, depending on what you want to develop or communicate there are various options.

• Many folks went from #GitHub to @Codeberg / #Codeberg to do their #FLOSS development as it too has #IssueTrackers and means to discuss things without #loginwalled read-only access. Others like @torproject have their own @gitlab / #GitLab servers #SelfHosted.

• If you want a #Chat then consider #LiberaChat if you don't demand #privacy. Otherwise @delta / #deltaChat and/or #XMPP via @monocles & @gajim may be an option.

• If you do want some #LoginWalling for some reason, consider @zulip / #ZulipChat as it has a nice #threading model that can handle both asynchronous communication and high traffic without becoming unfindable or unarchiveable. Otherwise there's like @RocketChat / #RocketChat which also works great by my own experience.

Case in point: #discord just makes it more cumbersome and painful than anything. It's basically #Slack + #MicrosoftTeams, but worse…

@jackyan not that well in #Germany tho.

#KFC was always overpriced and closes shops i. #Germany because a bucket if greasy chicken for the price of multiple complete menus ain't selling.

• Same with #Subway and #PizzaHut and #Dominos and #FiveGuys: They barely made sense prior to #Greedflation kicking into high gear in 2020!

And #McDonalds "#AppWalling" and "#LoginWalling" their #Coupons and #SpechalOffer|s is cutting into their revenue when #Döner and #Dürüm have a better price/performance ratio. Why buy a #BigMac when you can get a full menue that fills you up for less?

• Same with #BurgerKing!

The weirdest thing I've seen are #MgSpaghetti in the #Philipines which baffles me to this day cuz they have so much nice, delicious and cheap food and then they want soggy, sticky noodles with tasteless sauce?

• I mean it's not even cheap food by comparison!!!
