Twitter, Reddit and Discord are simultaneously going to shit - because enshittification is what happens when suddenly money isn't free any more and borrowing carries an interest rate

The fediverse is not very well connected suburbs, good for what it is but doesn't do the same job

bsky is gonna do its own fediverse (with beer and shitcoins) and it's fun right now as a single instance with good users, but the staff are the sort of barely-crypto-reactionary free speech warriors who will never block the nazi instances

[youth pastor voice] you know, there's someone else who talked about the tendency of the rate of profit to fall

EDIT: to clarify: Discord is ticking along for now, but they hired some ex-Facebook execs, employees are in revolt and the org is hollowing out. hence (a) bad decisions (b) glitching https://archive.is/fI3hq

@davidgerard what happened to discord - don't use reddit, but that explained what happened when I saw a link to something on there earlier presumably - slashdot anyone?
@bluetyson @davidgerard I'm not sure of big changes at Discord (other than removing some privacy safeguards), and I only occasionally use it as some younger friends do, but I noticed on my tablet the UI had been set into dark mode which I didn't do myself (making my friends community quite unreadable due to the custom colour scheme she uses) and for the second time I will need to ask my young friends *how do I work this bloody thing?* which makes me feel old, and thus less inclined to use it...
@vfrmedia @davidgerard I don't use it much but I least I haven't been randomly darkmoded by the looks
