You get to watch a couple of videos only without logging in. No search.

Yikes.

They're leaving like redditors to Lemmy. There's dozens of them!

It's more like Twitter to BlueSky, which was a pinch more.

I don't really fault them when they don't know there is an alternative. And the alternative isn't clear cut and/or very good.

I do fault them for when they think that the platform is the solution and don't expect the same thing to happen.

They follow what is advertised. Fediverse, by its nature, doesn't have money for this. There was a push for Mastodon, though.

Here's an idea. How about we abandon ragebait shortform slop/garbage aggregators entirely, and stop rewarding them with excessive device permissions and personal data.

I looked it up in the App store out of curiosity and holy crap that app almost as bad as TikTok for privacy. Though I suppose people jumping ship from TikTok aren't too concerned about data privacy or else they wouldn't have been using TikTok in the first place.

Literally anything but FOSS, huh?

Out of the frying pan and into a cold frying pan.

Not federated. Nothing stops this app from getting worse in the future, right?

I tried it for an hour or so and it's absolutely filled with Nazis. One of them was criticizing Elon Musk and Trump for not being nazi enough. No thanks.
