Yes, because you have to a be a fucking moron to think Github is the place to splat a bunch of fucking torrent shit you braindead cousinfucker.

You sound like you're desperately trying to play a losing semantic game.

Subs opened... with who moderating?

Reddit has no fucking backup plan if the mods decide to bail. What happens? Communities go unmoderated, or randos take over which is even WORSE since randos bring about the possibility of the sub being shat up on purpose.

Because of what? One idiot that broke his search engine somehow?

Except it IS a search engine and that's basically all it's good for. By its very nature all it can do is collate information. It's the only thing AI is good at.

"Rent-seeking is the act of growing one's existing wealth by manipulating the social or political environment without creating new wealth. Rent-seeking activities have negative effects on the rest of society. They result in reduced economic efficiency through misallocation of resources, reduced wealth creation, lost government revenue, heightened income inequality, risk of growing political bribery, and potential national decline."

None of which have anything to do with a tech company purposefully dumpstering usability in favor of profits.

Enshittification is the otherwise poorly-described process by which a company establishes itself with a new service or product and immediately begins finding ways to further monetize said product or service that in no way adds to their offerings.

Look no further than Reddit for a prime example. "We're totally a bastion of free speech and user-generated content, okay not that speech because the advertisers don't like it, but nobody likes Nazis so fuck 'em, but also we need more revenue so we'll allow SOME Nazis, and now we need to offset the lost advertisers so let's add gamification and awards and avatars you have to pay money for oh by the way we're getting rid of tits because advertisers don't like those, look you plebs are too costly and our precious advertisers are the ones that actually make us money so everything you do has to fall within their restrictions, fuck you all how about you just die in individual car fires, we were never about free speech, I am Spez, hear me r/oar."

A combination of DDG and Google. DDG's results too often look like a list of sponsors so when that happens I fuck right back off to Google.

Get an ad blocker, get Privacy Badger, use a VPN, experience the internet the way it was before corporate shitbags got hold of it. Mostly.

Why would that be the case? You're pretty much already in the middle of it. Look up top. Microblogs, threads, magazines. Throw on some hashtags and you've got yourself a stew going.

An internet app for everything is literally a fucking web browser.

Which is all most apps are.

There's nothing technically keeping a unified Fediverse app from happening outside of any account conflation limitations that exist. But even then it should be possible to handle multiple logins on the same app.
