Why should the enshittification stop at the internet? Let's enshittify the whole world for good measure.

Use an ad blocker and the traffic is of little value to them. Especially if it only goes to /r/place and doesn't allow to create much of a profile.
for security reasons.
AKA to boost sales of new devices by making old devices unusable faster by preventing the user from upgrading storage.
I prefer quality over quantity. Spammers, advertisers, "influencers", brainless users consumers who can't tell the difference between an "app" and a website, and other "mainstream" phenomena can stay in their corporate internet cesspits. Their absence alone makes a platform a lot more pleasant to use.
The thing is, the AFD, apart from being Nazis, are also neoliberal. Only an idiot (who also likes Nazis) will vote for them over disliking neoliberalism.
vim on any *nix box, Notepad++ when forced to use Windows.

Your mileage may vary, but it's still possible to install some distros without those nonsensical containerised "package managers", or to at least remove them after installation. It unfortunately takes an increasing amount of effort, especially in distros that are actively trying to push their flavour of containerised package manager. (Totally not looking at Ubuntu and Snap)
What is working in our favour here is the fragmentation, which will prevent, or at least slow down a too widespread adoption of those systems.
10 years here, haven't modded anything and was mostly active in a few relatively niche subreddits, so, unfortunately, currently Lemmy can't fill the void quitting Reddit left (yet), but still not looking back.
Not giving the corporate fucks at Reddit any more free content. If you're living off the community, don't shit on the community.
It would be a shame if someone conspired to coordinate such a thing...

EXTRA MEATY OR JUST MEATY?
Politico is owned by the Axel Springer corporation, which is the German equivalent to Rupert Murdoch's media conglomerate. Expect nothing but hate inciting bullshit and drivel from them.
A basic awareness test is built into the fediverse, you have to choose an instance to sign up on in order to create an account and participate. This filters out everyone whose intellectual capacity doesn't go further than tapping "install" in their smartphone's app store.
Didn't delete my account, just overwrote all my comments with a message to corporate Reddit and Spez in particular and deleted my posts. Didn't want to delete mainly because a deletion can happen for any reason, I rather wanted to send a message that can be seen.
Regrets? Yes, but overall it was worth it.
Hadn't looked into that for a long time, will try. I think the biggest hurdle for me might be native Windows terminals still being shit.
Great, now consulting a search engine on questions about vim the text editor will yield equally awkward results as consulting a search engine on matters concerning latex the typesetting system.
