SparroHawc@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•how many people came to this platform due to leaving / being banned from Reddit?4·4 days agoI bailed when they started banning people for upvoting Luigi content. I’d already drastically reduced my usage when the appocalypse happened and RIF no longer worked, but that level of panopticon shit was too much.

Seed something yourself.
Go buy a garage sale DVD of something that is semi-popular and doesn’t already exist on the private tracker, rip it, and post the torrent yourself.
'S what I did back when Underground Gamer still existed; I had a version of Mechwarrior 2 that didn’t already have a torrent, so I spent some time making a nice summary and uploaded it myself.

It’s a two-fold curse - first, every single program these days isn’t a stand-alone program, it’s a glorified web browser. Hand-in-hand with that is the fact that, in order for these webpages-disguised-as-programs to behave in the way you normally expect a modern UI to act, it has to have five layers of javascript frameworks, each adding its own pile of cruft to the slagheap that is modern app design.
