as the title says, all of these frontends are dead now, which means that its impossible to view any of the datat that exists on these sites if we dont own an account

is that it? should we just quit using these sites or what?

    should’ve stopped a long time ago. I’ve been off everything but reddit for years and now I’m here.

    we need to respond to things fucking us over quicker. Blizzard, the public transit system in America, Reddit, Twitter, Blizzard, the United States.

    we give these cunts too much wiggle room

      With things like Blizzard it’s “easy”. I don’t NEED Diablo 4. I’d like it, but i’m not going to get it out of principle. But Reddit is different. I don’t need it as a social media platform or to post myself, but for me, a huge portion of relevant online search results are from reddit. I pretty much run into tech and non-tech issues on a daily basis that are only documented or solved by a years old reddit post. And i’m pretty sad to see that go. Not the social part of reddit, but having so much condensed knowledge in a single place.

      And while lemmy is nice it isn’t an alternative until i can move instances and subscribe to communities without having a pending status for weeks. You also can’t search online for lemmy because of motörhead and because every instance names itself.

        I would argue reddit shouldn’t have been used for tech stuff and troubleshooting as much as it was. Neither should discord for that matter.

        For this purpose wikis and old-school forums worked well. I hope we go more back to that.

      I also just quit youtube. Don’t use it much so now I’m down to streaming services that won’t spam me or are actually worth paying for. There’s nothing on YouTube I’d pay to watch. Sorry viva la dirt league, not even you. If they had their own streaming service maybe!

        So, which are worth paying for? Netflix hasn’t done a good show for me in 2 or 3 years. Prime Videos Interface, search and selection sucks, Paramount has basically only Star Trek for me. Disney plus comes pretty close for me. I love Star Wars and Marvel, and with a child in the house, they have something for everyone. But i’d argue Disney is a morally worse company than google or reddit.
