    Leaving Reddit was one of the best things I’ve done for my phone addiction. Lemmy isn’t nearly as addictive, and the lack of a profit motive to fuck things up and encourage mass clicking helps control the content.

    It would really be nice if a company came along that recognized its relationship to the ecosystem that grows up around it. It seems like that’s an obligation, really, to help those who helped you become what you are. What you don’t have, on the other hand, is an obligation to rape everybody. Which is all capitalism does at this point - enshittification. Make a good product, then fucking ruin it, shitting on the current customers in favour of the ones you’ll get once it’s marketed to the masses.

    Useless, stupid, destructive and cancerous system.

    Can someone explain what I’m looking at here? Is this the official app? What does the text mean? Is OP making a joke on it? I’ve never seen the official app (because fuck you) so I don’t know what I’m supposed to be looking at.

    (Kinda surprised how many of you get it…)

    Was on Reddit for 11+ years. Apollo for the last few years. Quit cold turkey in June and honestly my life is better for it.
