Yes! Can't believe it's 2024 and websites are still not accessible. Even the biggest companies are the worst at this... and don't even get me started on their mobile sites 🙄

Speaking of, does anyone know how best to block YouTube ads on my Sony TV? It uses Android and I have the YT app on it.

There are a ton of website-to-rss services out there. rss.app, openrss.org, rsshub, etc.

WOM has and will always be the best form of marketing and you dont need big marketing teams to do it.

The problem is that a company doesnt need that many people to push a product. They can just pay the few they need, well. But instead, they'd just rather hire a shit ton of people and under pay all of them.

This reply reads like we should have to pay for these big unnecessary marketing teams these companies hire, which shouldn't be the case.

They didn't "join" anything. They just made an app that allows Meta-owned users to talk to us here in the Fediverse, but we can't talk back.

Jumping into a conversation that people were already having, but you're the only one that gets to talk, is hardly "joining" it.

Not to mention, their API requires creating an Instagram account. The Fediverse doesnt require accounts just to view public data.

All these years and Meta still hasn't learned a thing about an open and free internet. But you can put lipstick on a pig, I guess.

Just depends on what works best for each of us. But personally, I agree with you. It's not that I think one company owning a ton of the services is a bad thing in itself. But history has shown us that, when a company starts to dominate a certain market, they tend to start becoming tone-deaf to our interests, because they know we can't (easily) switch and go somewhere else.

I really hope this is sarcasm. I couldn't imagine basing my friendships solely on whether or not they use Twitter.

Yeah, depending on the branch I've found that method not to be too reliable. openrss offers branches for RSS feeds for commits on every branch though: e.g. https://openrss.org/github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/commits/main

I hope you're right!
