Yeah, no. The deaths of those websites have not happened yet, and when they do, the Fediverse will not be the one holding the scythe

Yeah, FB was killed by the younger people abandoning it for other SM. Twitter was killed by Musk. Reddit was killed by Spez.

And by "killed", I mean "lost some users and content quality". They still have millions of active users.

And my personal feed on Reddit is pretty much unchanged. Very few niche subreddits went into an extended blackout, so I still got all my content. And since I use the mobile website (FF+uBlock), the API change didn't affect me that much. But I hope more communities from Reddit will move over here, especially the non-tech ones.

What's SM? Smash Mouth?

Pretty sure FB is still very much alive. Most people still use it for either Instagram, Messenger or Marketplace.

SocialMedia ;)

I think FB and Instagram should be considered seperated although both owned by Meta. Anecdotally the people around me aged 20-30 only ever use FB for local groups and marketplace but not in it's original capacity.

A fair few niche subreddits did, at least FOSS, privacy, piracy, etc. Subs

FF+uBlock?

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Firefox (presumably the mobile version) + uBlock Origin, an adblocker.

[–] Ery@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

It means Firefox with uBlock extension

[–] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Probably means Firefox with the uBlock ad blockers browser extension.

[–] void_wanderer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

On Android you can use Firefox with uBlock origin (ad blocker) extension

Right, it'll be death by suicides.

Google should probably be on there too. Can't find anything either non-corporate or irrelevant these days.

I was looking for js libraries that extended the ecma array prototypes, Google gave me a billion pages about how to use the ecma array prototypes.

Google isn't concerned with their search engine right now. ABC is a mega tech conglomerate, the search engine is like a miniscule about to their revenue.

90% chance that if you use DuckDuckGo or Bing, it's on a chromium browser, which means you very link have a Google account

[–] brimnac@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is Firefox chromium?

[–] Varixable@lemmy.fmhy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Firefox is not.

I can recommend Kagi. Yes, it'll cost you to use it (but not a lot, eg. I'm on the $10/month plan), but people expecting to get everything for free online is what got us into this mess in the first place.

[–] erogenouswarzone@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I'll check it out!

I guess you missed the first 10 pages of ads. /s
