This is weird, sorry.

I used to have Twitter and Facebook at the very least. And several groups on Facebook as well.

Now I have #Mastodon, and that is it, deliberately. I have a lot of people I follow, it works, it has news, it has jokes, it has interesting posts.

People follow me, and react to my posts.

But it almost seems weird having only one platform to play with!

It is also weird to not have any family, or locals, on it, and hard to create that, yet!

@revk I'd suggest that the #Fediverse > #Mastodon just as #Internet > example.com

Recent events seems to bringing the ideas of #Enshitification into sharp focus, with some nations and large organisations starting to move over.

It takes time for n(n-1) to work... so enjoy the (signal/noise) !

The #Enshitification of Google maps 🤨

Not going back to Google Maps after I tried this

“I've been using Google Maps for years, but I was tired of the distractions.

#Google Maps has so many ads and pins, with labels galore and a map so detailed with points of interest that it's distracting to the point of sometimes being overwhelming”

Text Shot: In recent years, Google Maps has been less about the actual map part and more about data and points of interest, which also happens to make it easier for Google to show you targeted ads based on all the data it collects around where you've been and what you're searching for. I found a better solution that has many of the same benefits as Google Maps, but is built to be driving-focused with less distraction and a user interface designed around clarity, which is perfect for driving.

This app has a cleaner driving experience with less distraction.

@aphandersen @Kjaerulv Men det er ikke muligt at tage hensyn til alle, hvis der kræves betaling - det er på ingen måde urealistisk at forestille sig en person, der skal bruge et toilet & hverken har kontanter eller betalingskort på sig i situationen.

It's that time again ... software #enshitification season.

Regarding #discord 's latest facial scanning / ID requirement. I was looking for alternatives once again. Not so much for me, but my son. The options are not that great, with many applications like #matrix #stout #revolt all missing features so I took another look at https://jami.net and you might want to as well.

Simple signup, free, voice and video calling, screen sharing and it's avail on all mobile and desktops:)
