About owning your data. About reclaiming the 'net and decentralizing it. It is about taking control. Being able to do things the way you see fit. And it is about breaking free from subscriptions and from big tech which is <a href="https://exquisite.social/tags/enshittifying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshittifying</a> like there is no tomorrow.Go <a href="https://exquisite.social/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a> the way you see fit. In small steps, one platform at a time - or with a head first dive if you are feeling adventurous. Share your experiences, write a blog about it, create a video or post about it on the Fediverse.It most definitely is not too late to revolt. To give big tech the middle finger. Firmly stand your ground. Be a rebel. :flan_molotov:

arclightNobody who started working on user interfaces after 2015 can be trusted.There needs to be a UI lock feature at the OS level, on by default. No accidental pinning, unpinning, hiding, rearranging, or general gratuitous <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/enshittifying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshittifying</a> my goddamn desktop.Stop making everything accidentally movable.I hate every fucking one of you involved in cursing me with your shitty malleable UIs. Fucking stop it - it's fucking chaos.You refuse to standardize on control location or behavior, there's no obvious undo, and approximately zero of the "flexibility" is useful or desirable.You are not mature enough to make tools for other people. Grow up and/or just fucking stop.
