It's also getting 230% more hard-right vibes.

Defederate please...

Recommended for you: posts from Trump.

I still use twitter sometimes for porn, and it's I'm really getting ridiculous because they inject Trump and Musk spam after porn.

Bluesky is pretty good for porn now…

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 days ago

Lemmy has a porn instance I hear

It's pretty meh, mostly pictures of flat/petite women and sellers reposting everywhere they can

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 days ago

Careful it doesn’t become a kink…

My conspiracy theory is that that's the goal. To either traumatized perverts forever, or at least make them fetishise those idiots

Surely people can't be surprised by this? When I occasionally look at FB now, it's probably 80% sponsored ads or follow this type "posts"

Can one enshittify that which was already shit?

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 8 points 5 days ago

There is always more shit.

with the platform officially launching on July 5, 2023

1 year, 6 months, 21 days excluding the end date

So it takes about a year and a half for the true colours to shine through.

Zuck said from the beginning that advertising would come when they reached N number of users. I wanna say he said billion, but I'm not interested in any of their platforms and never really cared either way.

I’m surprised it didn’t start with them

I feel sorry for anyone who didn’t know this was bound to happen sooner or later.

How can I choose to block threads? threads.ruin.io and threads.kyzune.com show up when I search for it, but are those the actual thing?

What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
