    I use it daily as that’s where my friend group is but we’ve been looking for an alternative since it is definitely getting bad. It’s at the VC funding stage where they now need to actually make money so enshittification is happening quickly.

    There was also the whole Palantir-linked age verification thing they briefly announced and then partially rolled back. A TL;DR would be that it’s the same old thing that happens to every closed source VC funded service

      and now it’s worse because government bs is starting to infect it…

      anytime corporations, or governments get involved the platforms instantly turn to shit more then they were before.

        I can agree with the corporations ruining things part but I do like when governments force companies to respect data privacy.

        I can agree with the government part too when it’s forcing services to scan your ID though

      Fluxer has been a good enough replacement for my friend group for the time being.
