Increasing “value” for shareholders in spite of user experience should be a reason to be sent to the guillotine.

In al seriousness now, being profitable is ok, but these companies try to be ever more profitable while not giving a flying fuck about the impact they have.

And if everyone still jumps ship from lemmy/kbin/whatever to their proprietary platform then the project was doomed from the beginning. I find kBin really good for such a new product (can't speak for mod tools) and I can't imagine many features that might make Threads preferable.

My feeling also. I really doubt so many people were eager to create an account and engage on a totally new and untested platform that has nothing novel really.

True, but if many of the content creators are among the ones who left then it will have a sizeable effect at least in the short term. Already some subreddits are unrecognisable (many in a funny way).

Am I not reading the numbers right or Reddit lost the most traffic of them? I wouldn't exactly call it insignificant (although it's not that much either)

If only US would have sane laws too...

Water filter, kindle (altought I hadn’t had time to use it as much due to having a mountain of unread physical books), iPhone + Apple Watch + AirPods, a cheap (5k euro) car to help me go between home and University.

Another downside for non native English speakers is that there seems to be relatively few foreign languages books. I could barely find anything in Romanian.

Very nice! As I suppose you used ChatGPT for summarizing the source, could you also use it to make the combat loses format to a markdown table or at least a list because it would help with readability.

Basically late-stage capitalism
