Happy Enshittification Day! 💥

July 1, 2023: Reddit cuts off API access, Twitter requires login, Youtube may ban ad-blockers, Meta & Google block news in Canada...

Celebrate #EnshittificationDay by going to [instance address]/about, find the donations link, and make your contribution to open social media!
