Oh no, through this article I found out about Bandcamp's enshittification. I like that Website to obtain music...
OK I read the bandcamp thing and... It's not enshittification at all. Can we stop applying the term to every online service that kinda gets slightly worse for some reason or another?
Just in case:
Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification
None of those things happened with Bandcamp
As of today, the revenue share is still the same as before the last acquisitions, right? The entry requirements are the same and the discovery tools aren't worse? If so, and the issue is with the layoffs and unionization, that's true for countless other companies, especially in gaming.
Bought by Epic Games and sold a year and a half later 😩
Yeah, but I still post links to Bandcamp, even though they've gone down that path. One day they'll cross the line, and I'll start posting links to other services.
Oh shit. Are there any alternatives?
Faircamp is being worked on. No ActivityPub but the developer is considering it
That's really cool, thanks for the link.
Arstotzka so great, passport not required.
I've just started to save whatever pages I need to view on old.reddit to archive.org. It gets around the VPN blocks.
the fucking fedora, the communist style questioning, it's like a 4chan meme but it wrote itself
The communist style questioning??????????????
They mean authoritarian but their language model has been poisonned by their invisible jailors.
"Communism is not le bad!!!"
You conflate economic, which this game isn't really about, with oppressive territorial statism.
cry about it
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Use LibRedirect or Redirector to auto-redirect to RedLib public instances.
Their mascot even has a Fedora.
This is not a stop-and-ID state, officer.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Hands up
Replace www. With safe. Or you can get an extension to do that automatically.
