More like forced into it by these multiple “once-in-a-lifetime” economic crisis.

BofA deez nutz!

I had read this in another thread, but radio was one of the first (if not first) media form to be entshittified. Decades before we even had a term for it.

I’m about to hear a lot more of José “hongos mágicos” Rogan outside of the internet now.

Appreciate it, bud!

I don’t know. CEO of Golmdman Sachs sounds pretty classy. Tell her you got a wad of 100s

I just hope it gives them ideas. fingers crossed

Just like my totally real prescriptions.

And you agent is probably like, “wtf is a lemming?”

I’ll add to that.

Shit is geo-locked to certain countries and I can’t access it. 🏴‍☠️ Raise it.

I’m talking about GNAR KILL!

WWWAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH WWWWAAAAHHH WAAAAAHHH WAAAHHH

It is extreeeemly dangerous and may attack at any time. So we must deal with it.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum 🏴‍☠️

Time wise, yes. But I engage more, instead of just lurk, because my comment won’t be buried under the sheer amount of comments. Also, the smaller communities have less activity at the moment, but it’s all good. I’m not reading as much bad content while navigating a slew of annoying crypto ads and sketchy ads for overpriced mindfulness retreats.

After it’s all done, you should totally stay!

PS: got my pink polo pressed and ready for tomorrow.

I think unlimited texting was a thing in the US since like early to mid 2000s. It was never the case down here (probably still isn’t, since nobody uses it).

In fact, by the time cell phones became ubiquitous down here, it was around the time smart phones were launching. So with regular SMS being expensive, everyone just started using WhatsApp. I think back in the day the app was $1.

It’s kind of fucked-up that Zuckerberg has so much power over people’s businesses, study groups, family communications, neighborhood watches, et al. He could put ads on WhatsApp tomorrow, and people will probably take it, because humans are stubborn and like familiarity in general. I could stop using it today, but I would not be able to participate in a lot of things in society.

You can see it now in Reddit and Twitter. They’ve been completely entshittified and people are still there. In fact, we got people on Lemmy wanting to brigade and participate in r/place and give engagement to that shit-sipper Spez, so he can use the metrics on his damn IPO.

Yeah, my bad. Mlem is bugging out and it seemed like it didn’t post it at all.

As someone from Latin America. FUCK!

It’s literally what everyone uses for business, family/friends groups. Don’t know if any country around here is an exception, but we started using it because greedy telecoms were charging so much money for SMS at the time. So, it was a great way to circumvent that.

Then Facebook bought it when it was already established, so it’s improbable that people will move away from it.
