Completely quit Reddit. It's a shame that the article fails to mention the fediverse as a new rising alternative in response to enshittification.

Windows is experiencing enshittification as well, but I still have yet to see anyone recommend Linux to me. The only mainstream device I know that runs a Linux distro is none other than the Steam Deck.

It really is a shame that not many people are actually trying to use these genuinely great alternatives.

This is a surprisingly good comparison.

Thanks.

Windows 10 is for me like Infinity for Reddit was (now I'm on Eternity 🙏). As soon as Windows 10 is EOL it's Linux time. I'm already getting used to it with VMs. Maybe even before that depending on how long my current device will last.

2024 will have mentions of ActivityPub and Fediverse.

Probably in context of Meta and Threads, sadly.
