It peaked around 2015 or so and has been on a downward spiral since.

These people are proving on a daily basis that they are unpleasable. Their guy won the election. They are getting daily wins on what they voted for, and yet all they do is bitch and moan when they get what they voted for.

Why the fuck did they vote for this if they didn't want it? "Oh, but I didn't vote for me to get fucked" No, but three streets over some guy voted for you to get fucked. And you voted for the person who got fucked yesterday to get fucked. You're all fucking winning, shut up and enjoy it.

I wish I could do that, but it's not worth the risk when my local guy wins and we lose massively at a federal level, so local guy can't really do much of anything at all.

It is heping Plex by adding to their number of users and further justifying their enshitifcaiton.

The correct move is to uninstall it and use an alternative.

Accepting enshitifcaiton and the downward trend of the status quo is why we have enshitifcaiton and the downward trend of the status quo.

Companies know users will just accept shit rather than be mildly inconvenienced or uncomfortable for a bit while they learn something new, even if it's a million times better.

Which alternative should I have chosen: Voting for who I want and letting Cons win, or not voting at all and letting Cons win.

The entire side service they're they've been pushing where they want to inject their own streaming crap into the media server. The whole point of Plex used to be for you to host your own media collection, and was relatively hands-off. But sure, continue to support them by using the software and inflating their numbers. Don't cry to me when better options crumble and all you're left with is a completely enshitifed app, what do I know? Lmao

If the threat of losing the election was to the Liberals then yes. But until we ditch fptp we're stuck with a two party system pretending to be a multi-party system.

This is absolutely nothing new... Wonder how many other subreddit this idiot moderates because "moderator reporting user for harassment because they called me out on being a fragile piece of shit" is seemingly the trend over on that shit site. It needs to be shut down on the whole

I'm not sure that people voted for Carney as much as they were backed into a corner and forced to vote for him as a vote against Poilievre.

I don't care about my Plex pass, I care about the basic service getting shit on. The pass was never meant to give me a premium product, it was meant to support the devs and give me a few minor feature perks.

I've used Plex since 2009-2010. I've watched it change into the trash it is becoming. People should trash it and move to Jellyfin.

I've been using Plex form 2009-2010 and have watched it slowly enshitify. The purpose of the software was to allow people to host their own media server and making it accessible anywhere. The pass was a nice way to thank the devs and get some small perks. Now it seems like they are yet again stripping features from basic users.

The op's stance of "I have a pass so it doesn't affect me" is further supporting and encouraging the enshitifcaiton of what used to be a good service for anybody. Jellyfin seems to be the way to go now.

You're saying you bought a pass, fuck all the people that didn't buy a pass. Sure other people could buy a pass, but why would you want to encourage them to do that and incentivize the further enshitifcaiton of Plex?

 

As a 10+ year Reddit user, I recently made the jump here to Lemmy and was hoping to re-join some of the old groups. Is there a running list somewhere of all the groups on here that started as subreddits?

What's the right term for them, anyway? Group? Sublemmy? Community?
