That’s not really true. When it first came out, before the ads, before the algorithm, when they embraced 3rd party apps with an open api, it was really great. It was full of techy personalities and interesting folks. Hashtags were fun to follow, live events were amazing in real time, so much more. That was before it got inundated with politics and celebrities though. I think that honeymoon phase only lasted a tiny while, then it all went downhill into the outrage machine pretty quickly. But for a quick minute there, it was glorious.

does Doom count? Because my friends and I still play the game to this day, all the various community mods and maps.

I loved this at first but then the complexity of the various mechanics seemed to take a sharp rocket ship upwards through the roof. I got kind of lost and then tried to read the wiki guide and it was like a book, so that was that. I really wanted to like it though! Maybe I should give it another go.

Exactly my sentiments. Zero desire to use any form of chromium.

Is that where the all section just constantly keeps loading more and more and more and you can’t even use it because it’s flying downwards?

Exactly, I’m sorry Mr Jabroni, but I gotta agree here. They have burned every ounce of goodwill long ago. Don’t give them an inch.

I couldn’t be happier having made the move off of plex to jellyfin a couple years back. Plex is basically dead to me since they made their move into enshittification. Jellyfin is perfect! Works great never crashes etc.

Another vote for newsblur. And you can use it either as a backend+frontend, or just as a backend and then use a modern “reader only” app as the front. It’s super configurable.

Thanks! I’m spending my first Father’s Day with my brother who’s also a first time father! We are conspiring on ways our little ones (first cousins) can become fast friends. It’s also fun sharing stories since we are at almost the same stages.

exactly. Notifications work well, the layout is almost exactly the same, it’s responsive, it just works.

Was using Ivory, but you can’t disable haptics. I HATE haptics inside of apps like that so that’s an instant uninstall. Moved over to Mona and been very happy there.
