Heres a nice rant and thread cataloguing the litany of shittified annoyances we are dealing with: https://www.reddit.com/r/enshittification/s/JiNrKEMqZ8

@ilam.fields me too. Having a name for this phenomenon with a clear, common definition is a public service when these concepts sometimes feel too broad and abstract for most people to get (and keep) their heads around.

This site is intended to give users a place to discuss the future. A site that will not turn into a pile of shit. This site will never monetize with advertising. As it scales, we will divide the board into smaller regional boards and pay all server costs with private donations. We will maintain this site as a group for this group! I’ve run an instance of nodebb (the lovely open source forum software which this board runs on) for a small community for a decade. That other board never earned a penny and we like it that way. No ads, no federated authentication. No bullshit. This board will focus on educating society about the forces that are dragging us into the Enshittocene. However, I hope you make meaningful friendships along the way, and this experience should not pretend to be linear. We are better together. A good internet can be done! I ask for your trust and lets build something distributed that will not fail.

So check this out @skeet . These are the current overrides I have set. They allow me to override any css i want, so what i did was i went through the site briefly in chrome, saw a few things that looked like they could be improved, right clicked on those elements and chose inspect, then copied the selector, pasted it in chatgpt and told it: override this selectors color with light brown, or make the text in this selector bigger, etc. then i tweaked its output. If you gave me a list of overrides like this back i would be happy to try them out. Gemini should work fine for this too: .brand-container { background-color: #e9dfd3 !important; } [component="siteTitle"] h1 { color: #2f5e43 !important; font-size: 1.25rem !important; /* adjust size */ line-height: 1.2 !important; } .btn-close { filter: brightness(0) saturate(100%) invert(33%) sepia(11%) saturate(1122%) hue-rotate(96deg) brightness(92%) contrast(90%) !important; }

Alright, I figured this one out. It looks like by default the board was showing GDPR registration process. That's the higher level of explicity that Europe require regarding authentication process. Most of us never see this kind of thing in the US, unless we use a VPN. Anyway, the registration process shouldn't be so scary any more. No, we will not do anything with your data and I guarantee that all we're really recording is IP address to ban bad actors like Chinese spambots.

@djaboss Interesting! Makes sense. I think visual representations are the way to go. Visual > exponential number > indeterminate noun

Talking about the parties directly may be a dead end tbh. There is so much mental baggage, bias and fatigue associated with the parties, focusing on issues and ideas seems the right strategy and making a conscious effort to keep the parties as a secondary or tertiary data point.

I dont have smtp server set up yet and its not necessary. Just dismiss the modal
