The data centers are mostly for surveiling us.

This is awesome! Brings back somenexcitenent. I'd love to run a meshtastic BBS... Rural TN might have other activities they'd rather do though.

Hopefully now not trumpets

The clowns are running the circus.

More like who is implementing it. Take MS out of the picture and set it as an open standard.

I'm surprised someone remembered bbs'es. Those were some fun 300 baud times.

I started when the API thing went down.. exploring other sites with Lemmy among them. After continued enshitification I slowly started manually deleting 13 years of posts. Some here, some there. When I ran out of posts to delete I killed my account and just would occasionally browse old reddit. Now after they killed old reddit without logging in. (Which I will not do again). That was it. You get way better conversations here with mostly real people ... Honestly feels like the old days of reddit. I've had to find other places for niche forums and stuff for my hobbies but I'd rather do that then to go back to that shit pile.

No way there's that many humans. The number is diluted by bots and misreported.

This I couldn't believe - on my phone you get three scrolls to view the site and then are told. "To view more content download the app". Seriously fuck that.

And not a word of it on the news.
