I love Lemmy but your question is legit. I just signed up with lemmy.world because lemmy.ml is slow/not responding.

Before making a post in lemmy.world guess what? lemmy.world isn’t responding. I know they have scheduled maintenance at 9 CET but it was 20 minutes before that.

Probably enshitification!

Look it up.

This is why I don’t buy Android.

The software isn’t optimized enough from smoothness and battery consumption perspective.

Also, the ROM that’s usually comes from the manufacturer is either spyware, bloated, or just crap. You need technical knowledge and risking bricking your device to install custom ROM.

The hardware, which is my least concern, depends on the company you buy from.

My SONY smart tv (with apps disabled) would phone home like ~200 times a minute.

Losing Apollo was the main reason.

However this whole saga unveiled other disturbing things such as how Reddit is leveraging its communities for advertising in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/837198

Putin benefited from:

1. Showed that the largest military group couldn’t complete a coup
2. No longer need to justify the damage Wagner group done
3. Shows Russian that he prefer to negotiate rather than bloodshed
4. Shows international theatre that Russian troops are loyal, peaceful, and follow orders
5. Identified disloyal government officials who sided with Wagner if any

And the list goes on

Wagner head got out of it and terrorisim accusations in the future

I’m still thinking that it’s not over. Moscow still on high alert.

There’s something up. Both putin and Wagners head aren’t stupid.

I feel it’s a plan to justify future actions.

I saw a NSFW image today morning and I unchekced the “show NSFW setting” and It did work

Brilliant. This is what Lemmy needs now.

Reddit has been falling since 2015 at least to me

1. Redditors became aggressive when they disagree with you
2. Ads everywhere
3. Politics 99% news 1%
4. Mods became s%!t

I used Apollo so the ads part wasn’t an issue for me. But the moment they announced their API disaster, I said enough is enough.

I feel lemmy is light years ahead.

I couldn’t find Mlem in the App Store. How can I download it?

Never mind… I found the test flight invite in their github page
