In the last few months every service I used went to shit.
Lost Youtube Vanced, and now Revanced is giving me issues too.
Lost Reddit is Fun.
Now I’m also being shown my LMG is crappier than I thought.
I’m even thinking of switching to Matrix instead of using Discord.
Everything else in the world seems to be going to shit as well.
These times suck, but I guess its just how things are gunna be for a bit while things reshuffle.
(I do love the Fediverse and the way things are going, it’s just the change has left me feeling a little hollow.)
This current wave of enshitification to online services is generally driven by said online services taking steps that they believe to be more profitable to the detriment of the people who use them.
That has always gone on but it feel like it’s everywhere at once at the moment; with the place I live in, the transport I use, the food I buy, the media and art I consume etc.
1900 years ago, the world knew that the only things people desired were bread and circuses, i.e. to have your needs met and have entertainment, a lot of people have built their modern circuses off of things that are becoming unusable or deserve boycott. It’s far better than living in a warzone or something but to have many things we rely on for satisfaction stripped from us at once.
I just wanna spend my free time entertained without having to perpetually change what provides that entertainment, is that not why most of us use this site?
My biggest issue is depression. I recently move to a new small town and it’s pretty lonely here. I was using the things I mentioned to help distract me, so losing them sucks more than it normally would.

Enshittification is a popular buzzword at the moment but it does cover a lot of things.
I don’t wanna be that guy but if your biggest issues are some online services going down the drain, you’re probably pretty well off.

ReVanced had been working perfectly for me ever since Vanced died. What’s not working with it for your? Maybe you just need to update it?
I, too think that the change is the thing that has left me hollow.
Or maybe just the loss of a norm.
True.
But I think this semi chaotic reshuffling is also somewhat exciting and reminds me of what I think the early days of online communities were like
