As a 14-year long user, the new Fisher Price UI makes me sad :( What have they done to you, Reddit? (i.imgur.com)

Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn’t even show the full post. There are 3 of those “trending” boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description...

1st,

They’re turning it into a magazine - wonder when they’ll add personalisation algo

1st,

Oh yeah? I’ve never used the main app/site

Called it. Elon's doing exactly what I thought he would do: https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/109979152813584947

Twitter is dead.

There is no point in trying to hold on to what Twitter used to be. What Twitter used to be no longer exists.

It died the moment Elon walked in the building.

Anything posted there since then has been free content on his everything app and potential crypto scam, X: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/23/twitter-elon-musk-says-he-wants-to-change-companys-bird-logo

1st,

I like the idea they think they can make an everything app when as a text app it’s so utterly broken

1st,

So many ways:

  • frequent outages
  • spaces drop out frequently
  • blue membership gives credibility to fraudsters
  • I haven’t been able to reply on mobile for the last 2 weeks
  • blue features just stopped working a few weeks ago and nothings happened (dark mode, custom icons)
  • analytics are inaccurate and have large gaps
  • it’s awash with bots
  • algo works against ux
1st,

Yeah maybe - I imagine the tech debt is hard to manage when you fire 80% of your staff.

I’m on the latest version of the app and latest iOS version so I suspect I’m not alone

1st,

Oof, felt this right in the geriatric millennials.

Mfer I was doing assignments where I had to scroll through index cards to find the encyclopaedia, then hand write out the essay.

It’s weird when you go from being the disruptor demographic to realising that when your 5 yo kid jokes about the 80s it’s as far away in time to him as the 1940s we’re to me - for him it’s a 2d, pre-Alexa, analog dystopia.

And I’m only 42.

YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market. (restoreprivacy.com)

“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”...

1st,

Welcome to life after 40 - I’ve been an early adopter all my life, but my network hasn’t moved with me.

As a result joining Snapchat has no value for me.

So I tend to use apps that are friend-agnostic like this and TIkTok.

Side note: my fave messaging app is Confide, it only reveals redacted words as you run your finger over them, and then deletes. So it’s impossible to screenshot.
