The year 2023 saw the “enshittification” of platforms from Facebook to Google Search. A new exit strategy means platforms will have to play nicely with your data, even if you leave for a rival.

      Yup. Got the pop-up about being out of free articles. Opened a browser I never use (with no ad blocker… Cause I never use it) so I got to experience the site with ads.

      The entire experience was hilariously ironic to read about service’s enshitification… While being bombarded with constant ad garbage.

      Bye bye wired. That was a waste of my time.

    Pixelfed is pretty nice in this regard already. you can export your Instagram account data and upload it to Pixelfed, and it’ll add all of your old photos to the PF account and stuff.
