along with the strong censoring that has occurred on reddit throughout the years, they have now removed r/all from the app and while using a desktop/laptop browser. instead of being able to stumble upon new subreddits you never knew existed, it wants to curate what you’re allowed to see

    Fair. I didn’t realize how embedded into my life I’ve let those fuckers get until I started looking into de-Googling. So for me it’s gonna be a slow process, but I’ll get there! Recently repurposed an OpenWRT One (a banana pi in a branded case, basically, for those who don’t know) into a home server to start learning about self hosting, which I expect will help immensely on my quest.

      Honestly, I still use Google Docs, just because it’s incredibly useful for collaborating with normies without needing to get them to sing up for new shit. And because certain parts of my routine workflow are pretty dependent on it.

      But Google Search? I haven’t used Google to search for anything for … well, for years now. Duck Duck Go works fine. It also tried to have AI bullshit, but at least it lets you turn the AI bullshit off easily and permanently.
