Boycotts work in luxury markets with strong competition. Necessity markets with highly concentrated monopolies? No chance. Without legislation to protect consumers, they are powerless to defend themselves against the greed and exploitation of corporate interests.
About time WotC unionised and spun-out of Hasbro.
Related to the recent reddit mobile site update that straight up breaks the website perhaps? (Cant scroll, can’t interact)
Others did it and faced no consequences. No government step-in, no mass customer loss. When there are no consequences for greedy monopolistic behaviours, greedy monopolies act greedily. Welcome to market capitalism without proper regulation.
Naming rights aside, I doubt another shitty burger chain will see success in Aus. If you want a shitty burger, we got that covered in almost every town and suburb. Aussie typically want higher quality fast food.
Voyager is the apollo replacement, it rocks!
I don't understand why some users really want a native app? A webapp is better in almost everyway. You don't need to build and maintain multiple pieces of software, it just works across multiple devices and configurations. You don't have to install and give permissions to yet another piece of software on your device, creating yet another vulnerability. It's like asking for betamax when DVDs exist. What's a benefit of doing so, just that in comes up in the app store when searching?
An important reminder of the right play here. If we are to keep the fediverse out of the hands of enshitification, we need to stay away from letting corporates play the game. Don’t federate.
I am hopeful that a sizable chunk of people are smart enough to see the writing on the wall with corporate owned media and will inevitably follow to the non-corporate-controlled places (like the fediverse model). The danger will be the model falling over as the temptation to centralise, control, and exploit becomes higher. The lemmy model only works if there isn't a dominate server with a large proportion of content right? What happens if lemmy.world gets big then just decides to de-federate? It's just reddit all over again.
A shady company that I had to fight tooth and nail to get my money back after literal years of false promises and moving goal posts. They've burned any respected reputation they had.
