God this sucks…

Yep! Just got out this morning!

I finally got it!

One thing we can do is encourage the Instagram users in our lives to open a fediverse account and use Instagram from the other side.

The hardest part for me was realizing how shit Google search is without appending reddit.

Oh gawd no. Please. We can stop this. For our children. No one buy it.

If it is not funded through user donations, how is it self sufficient? Genuinely curious.

Yeah. I worry about how many things are moving into Discord. They are giving so much away for free right now that it stifling competition. Eventually they will need to turn a profit and, with competition reduced, they can get real shitty with it.

What would the checkmark mean?

Wikipedia is set up as a nonprofit. They have annual fundraising drives asking their users for money. They also have an endowment and receive grants.

A donation drive could be a good model but the decentralized nature of the platform would complicate things.

I love this idea. Can we do this please?!

This is really well done. Do you mind if I repost some of the information here?

This is really sad for me. Appending reddit to Google searches was a way to get better information from the internet. Now that option is being polluted by reddit’s terrible business model.

And adding reddit to searchers was a way to deal with Google’s shit search results. Results that are riddle with AI created, SEO, crap that cannot be trusted because the way the sites make money is to sell things.

It’s sad for me to say but, the web is dying because the advertising model is not working out. The investors/share holders need for increasing profits will eventually cause the destruction of the reason people used their products. Google search is a great example of this.

You do a search for information and what you get is a company’s business model.

Thank you for all the hard work! The app is getting better very quickly.

Cheers!

This is impressive despite my lack of understanding.

I agree with you here. Share holders are never going to be satisfied. The numbers always need to be going up which means new ways to generate profits must be found. Ads, subs, micro transactions, etc - nothing is off the table.

Wait. What? LinkedIn? What’s the draw over there?

Thanks. Yeah. After crashing several times it seemed to clear up with the odd hang here and there. Kept thinking it was going to crash again but it struggled on.

Oooo, didn’t know you could get it to close after the game starts.
