Yeah I like it over Mastodon as well. The UI/UX feels more modern. The only downside is that the majority of the Twitter-alternative fediverse is on Mastodon, so I have to run 90% of accounts through 'search' to follow them.
The article does touch on some of the main instance's issues towards the bottom too I just found out.
I appreciate the focus on verbosity. I should probably set more of my defaults to follow the same thought process 🤔
I only use it so that I can watch DRM content (Udemy, HBO, etc)
Not that it is a deal-breaker, but this functionality is also built into Chromium browsers if you right click the address bar and select 'manage search engines'
Definitely feels like OP is describing a physical book. I supposed the nature of tech/humanity is to go full circle at times
Currently going through it right now w/ YouTube.
Started using alternative front-ends and was able to really curate my feed to be more productive. Now, Google is cracking down on the front-ends even when I cycle through different instances. So far I'm telling myself that even my productive feed wasn't that productive, but I'll probably take some of the info to heart in this thread and reevaluate a few things.
Great timing w/ the thread. Scheduled to get my Lenovo Slim 7i tomorrow and plan on installing Debian 12 🤞🏾. I will troubleshoot w/ this thread if I run into issues.
I think the latest 'date me' docs are an example yeah?

Thank you for clarifying! I definitely was thinking it was all teddits and not just an individual instance.
Ecosia.org too
I think the equivalent is actually Amazon's main website sharing to friends your Audible purchases in the hopes it can get you to join Audible
