yiddish has a word meaning "fucked up", verkakte, which if i recall correctly either comes from dutch (verkakt) or german (verkackt) which i believe neither actually really use anymore. "verkakte" transliterates to english as "enshitted"
conclusion: enshittification is a yiddish word
EDIT: turns out germans still use the verb verkacken!
@gerry I am very grateful, if my list, consisting only of equivalents of protesting subreddits, and not thoroughly updated since few weeks, still remains more quality, than subrehab. I actually considered them the most comprehensive list of official equivalents (including the same moderation teams), and pointed to them as more up to date. Maybe I will use their data to make my list more complete.
@ainmosni National servers probably make the difference.
Any US-American will have more problems with discovery of content (No search on Mastodon but hashtags). The choice of instances may be intimidating for someone - firehose of any big instance's local feed is too much and a small tematical one will amplify your FOMO. They want to see content tailored to their preferences, but isn't a thematical instance too limiting? (they don't know, that almost every server allows generalist talk).
A language barreer eases the choice. Almost every German state has a server (like Berlin), there are only several Polish instances, and so on. Local timelines are easier to browse on regional servers.
US-Americans have too much social mobility to have this European experience.
And Europeans are generally more comfortable with "national" social networks. I am writing this from /kbin, appreciated as Reddit-alternative on the Fediverse. However, its developer modelled it actually on wykop.pl - another link aggregator, much more popular in Poland, than Reddit.
@szczur Threadiverse is /kbin and Lemmy. You already know them as karab.in and szmer.info. Reddit decided to destroy its credibility in eyes of its users (API changes, approach to protesting subreddits, etc.). A mass migration to Lemmy instances and kbin.social happened.
Lemmy is no longer 1000 monthly users, and /kbin is no longer 200 of them.
Today, you are one of over 40 000 users of kbin.social. All the Lemmy has now over 35 000 monthly users!
The API shall come into force with beginning of July.
Yesterday, users of mstdn.social instance lost their connections to artists at mastodon.art instance ( src: https://framapiaf.org/@Curator@mastodon.art/110570978375947500 ). I hope giving visibility to this issue will help them to restore the broken bridges.
kbin.social ma teraz według swojego nodeinfo 34 682 użytkowników miesięcznych.
Fediverse.observer nie pokazuje tej instancji, ale gdyby to robił, to jedynymi instancjami z większą ich liczbą byłyby:
mastodon.social
podejrzany serwer rosyjski
pawoo.net
jeden obrzydliwy i dwa ze zmanipulowanymi statystykami.
Cała reszta, w tym mstdn.social, mastodon.world, mas.to i mstdn.jp mają tych użytkowników mniej!
@look997
Nie. Baraag. Poświęcony lolikonowi, który jest w Polsce nielegalny.
Wymieniłem sześć serwerów, do mastodon.social nic nie mam, a kbin.social jest siódmym największym (wg użytkowników miesięcznych oczywiście) @Kierunkowy74
@DrBlues A stream of consciousness divided into many short notes.
Mastodon and other microblogging platforms allow you to combine many that streams into your home feed.
Here, on /kbin you will rather see most popular microblog posts, with developed discussion and nested comments (that is, like on threads)
If there's the same conversation shown on different kinds of Fediverse server, each server type will display it in its own format.
For example:
In the attached images, you can see a conversation thread in the replies to a PeerTube video post. On Mastodon it will look like a Masto thread, but on PeerTube it will look like comments below the video.
They are both the same thread! It's just displayed differently depending on which kind of server you're looking at it from.
The first approach to "warehouses", channels, rooms. Personally, I don't like the solutions seen on #reddit, but people seem to like them. And yet, the user interface is for people, not for themselves. At least to a large extent.
While reddit's layout isn't fully polished (many subreddit-related modules and pages still use the old layout), I decided to use a drop-down menu that I don't like and redesign it a bit.
@codymagazyn can be used as a synonym of czasopismo in Polish. The first periodical publication calling itself a magazine, The Gentleman's Magazine named itself after a magazine as warehouse. English language retains "storehouse" meaning of magazine, but only for ammunition.
