The internet and software we have today is already a very low quality, there are ads everywhere which create a sensory hellscape for neurodivergents on the spectrum like me.

The only way i can still use the internet is trough an advanced filter. I cannot use youtube anymore and rely on a script to download from channels automatically. Discord used to be ok but is now stuffed with so much nonsense that is constantly pushed in my face i think of leaving it too. I left reddit for the same reason.

Even color codes are being copyrighted. Photoshop requires a subscription to use pantone colors and files that previously used those colors get altered to no longer use them. Its sick. Enshitification is real and increasing.

The best parts of the web are foss, its what makes lemmy superior to reddit.

There is a really simple but admittedly very radical solution to not needing to destroy anyones livelihood. Its called object the notion that people need to “earn a living” no one is alive by choice, everyone is in the same boat trying to survive. It makes no sense that we owe anyone anything for the privilege of a decent life.

Society wont collapse, there will still be people contributing. I know i will. I love my job, i get to help people with my expertise, the worst part is that my health somehow depends on it.
