I’m very wary of installing more extensions since I heard how many lucrative requests extension devs get from third parties for allowing them to enshittify their software.

I fear that part of the reason is that it isn’t big enough yet for AstroTurf interest groups to care enough to invest into it. Although maybe AstroTurfing isn’t included in the enshittification label?
For social media to work in the future I think there needs to be additional safeguards that keep enshittification at bay. But picking them will be a delicate art.
Voting might ensure that the situation might not get worse. You need to change the voting system to actually make a meaningful difference.
Edit: wtf are the downvotes for?
The problem with these rage inducing subreddits is that they seldom seem to propose or encourage any solution or alternative. So it ends up becoming a kind of circle jerk of learned helplessness.
It seems like a common internet thing. Rage bait and learned helplessness. We learn to accept that there’s nothing to do because people and politicians are idiots because “look at all this stuff”.
And often this aligns with advertising tech because it makes us engaged and seeking comfort of continued scrolling when we get a steady stream of anxiety injections. It’s low key like an abusive relationship.
Shouldn’t the flag be revealed in the last pane for it to work?
What software stack do you use for this?
It’s just a reference to trade unions
I’m sure stranger things have happened in irl lore. Pirate Party (pp) comes to mind.
Except it feels like when republicans gain power we move three steps closer to ww3.
I mean it should be obvious to anyone, including the addict, that a crack addict is not a reasonable role model. That doesn’t make the quote false. But it kind of makes it obviously implied that going to that length is not healthy.
I read it as making fun of hustle culture.
There are two kinds of gamers. Rage gamers and anxiety gamers.
It does seem like a good diversion tactic to blame a completely unrelated minority for a completely unrelated problem when you really want to protect billionaires from raised taxes.
I mean just move the discussion as far away as possible from them.
Why don’t they eat cake fight amongst themselves?
Now I want a team based FPS game where classes are the economic classes.
And you can decide to revolt and switch around the teams to make it proletariat versus bourgeoisie. (The French sure have weird spelling btw)
What ever team that can hold the most strategic points/means of production long enough wins.
Can I set language filter anywhere? I just blocked a bunch of instances using languages I don’t understand.
I couldn’t find the language controls. At least not on Sync for Lemmy (in account settings and such).
I mean that is a good reason to celebrate.
Yeah encrypt it or at least put on a nsfw tag or something. Gosh. People flaunt their privates like it’s Onlyfans.
