Just had cause to log into :birdsite: this afternoon and yowzer does it continue to slide downhill.
Random interaction-bating from bot accounts liking posts from months or years ago? Yep
Ads? You got it
Distracting sidebars pushing topics I have zero interest in? You betcha
Begging to upgrade to a premium account for features I don't want or use? Certainly
Pushing their AI schlock? Indubitably
Any posts from the interesting people I follow? maybe 5 accounts still posting stuff of interest
Makes me all the more thankful for the fedi where it's just hanging out with cool folks.
(and special thanks again to nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqt7dmr2xue8zaxsxhy2xkdja0nx6f8cu8y8l7hfksw98y773djkgqqrsr9k (nprofile…sr9k) for making bsd.cafe such a pleasant place)
