    Completely quit Reddit. It’s a shame that the article fails to mention the fediverse as a new rising alternative in response to enshittification.

      Windows is experiencing enshittification as well, but I still have yet to see anyone recommend Linux to me. The only mainstream device I know that runs a Linux distro is none other than the Steam Deck.

      It really is a shame that not many people are actually trying to use these genuinely great alternatives.

        Windows 10 is for me like Infinity for Reddit was (now I’m on Eternity 🙏). As soon as Windows 10 is EOL it’s Linux time. I’m already getting used to it with VMs. Maybe even before that depending on how long my current device will last.
