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

    I noticed last month that Discord was starting to push bugs regularly, where before they were a rock solid platform. I remember years ago they pushed one bug that caused an annoyance at worst and they sent and official apology out in a blog post.

    I’m ready to go to host my own, I’m just so freaking tired of needing to switch platforms. I’m hoping this is our last stop here, hopefully another 10 years, just so annoyed. Can’t anything just break even? Why does it have to be super mega profitable? I even pay for Nitro, can’t we just have things be nice?
