ferricoxideRemember when you could put: <pre><code>-site:</code></pre> In your search string and have that site excluded from your results? Ah, the good old days. <a href="https://evil.social/tags/enshittifcation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittifcation</a>

Santiago Lema :amiga:I clicked *once* on this message from WhatsApp to an Instagram link. (I have long deleted my FB / Insta account).Remember when you could click on a link and see the information right away on a web page that didn’t load a Windows95 in code in code 3 times ?In the end I can’t see it. Had to ask my wife to show me on her phone (with Instagram).<a href="https://masto.lema.org/tags/enshittifcation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittifcation</a>

william.maggosOur goal should be to maximize interoperability between <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a> and <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/ATproto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ATproto</a>. I have serious doubts about <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluesky</a> but if it could feel seamless communicating between the two, we'd maximize our preparedness for any future <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/enshittifcation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittifcation</a>. And along the way, refusal to make this work will quickly expose any bad actors. <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/SocialWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialWeb</a>To start, let's build <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/bridgyfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bridgyfed</a> into both apps and add a notification on both when your account is connected.

Mx. Luna CorbdenI open the article on my phone. An uncloseable banner pops up to cover the bottom 1/3rd of the screen, unmovable until I disable the ad blocker. But this is just the default browser on my Mastodon app – no extensions. Ads still frame each paragraph. As I struggle to read the article in this tiny gap, a video sweeps in to hide the text near the top and distract with its wee dancing humans. Then an ad sweeps over the middle. As I click back to escape this horrible Terry Gilliam dystopian nightmare, the entire screen shifts, the ads blessedly vanishing behind one solid panel, which begs me to sign up for the newsletter.If they could break the back button, they would. They're working on that now.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/enshittifcation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittifcation</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/enshitifcation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshitifcation</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/TrueStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueStory</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horror</a>

anubis2814I love how easily people on the right confuse <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=wokeness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wokeness</a> and <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=enshittifcation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittifcation</a> in media, the people in charge, purposely, the people without power because they want something to blame besides the corporations cutting pay for actual writers to make good stories.

ferricoxideStill amazes me that part of the reason we switched to our current vet is because, after our prior vet git acquired by VCA, their prices spiraled while their quality if care sank ...both on similar trajectories. Have I mentioned, before, how much I hate private equity and other sources of <a href="https://evil.social/tags/enshittifcation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittifcation</a>? The other part being that they REALLY pissed me off on two, prior occasions. One because the woman they had acting as an emergency vet had zero interest in anything but surgery and was awful with the pets' humans (por tone and maddeningly evasive). And another when a different emergency vet git all pissy about our feeding our dogs raw diets.
