My ultra cynical take is that burn-in is a business feature that will force people to repair or upgrade sooner rather than later.

It's kinda how these sites function at all nowadays lol. Wasn't reddit text posts only a long time ago?

I still browse reddit, simply because the size of the communities I want to visit is much larger there. My browsing is however confined to the mobile page in Firefox, which is slow, clunky, and breaks frequently, which means my reddit usage is down by something like 99%. Lemmy has the sync app, and without the app I wouldn't be here. Browsing Lemmy before it was awful.

Also, I kinda like that Lemmy is smaller. There's much less noise, less of an algorithm feel to browsing. It feels slightly more like the internet I grew up with in the 90s and 00s, and I kinda missed that.

An AI rewriting an article probably written by an AI talking about using AI to help people who lost their jobs to Al.

But it proves that 'people constructively and healthily socializing via the internet' is entirely possible without being forced to tolerate any more nonsense than one would normally expect when humans get together.

This reads so fucking stupid to anyone who hung around on the internet in the 90s and earlier. Social media and the monetization of social interactions is built on top of the ways we interacted before, not the other way around. Wanting to communicate and interact is why we used the internet in the first place. Social media is relatively new, and the internet hasn't always been this frustrating to use.
