the only thing that can kill Spotify is Spotify. They have a good platform, the best integration with other services/devices, and as long as they don't enshitify there's not much more another service can offer

this assumes they plan on winning an election legitimately

Spotify doesn't make changes like that on its own, the artist probably did that for a reason

Truly a site of the people

This sounds like an extremely annoying way to do things on mobile

isn't that just the most recent el nino year?

I really wish people would think a bit bigger. I hear "I don't want regular people here/it doesn't need to grow" all the time but don't you wonder how much better things would be if the average person wasn't constantly on a platform designed to enrage and exploit them?

Then there should be a single unified sign up page that sends you to a random instance or something. You still need an easy onboarding process for less technical people

The problem is it takes time and money to do that, which you can't really get without some kind of structure. I've been wondering what a tech cooperative might look like lately. All the weight of a company like reddit, but owned by the users

It has failed with the demographic they were after, which is TikTok users lol

It is releasing its own federated protocol, seems like it does a lot more than activitypub. Your account identity is valid on any instance, for example

I'm with you, but it is a bit odd for android given the push for material design
