Your Best Friend, Unfortunately

I love that the ibuprofen knows where to go

For old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. Like, let’s do it for the love that used to be here. It is reason enough.

theres a phenomenon that happens on here i have been calling "normalize loving parents posting" which is when you spend a lot of time on tumblr and are exposed to a lot of one specific counter-cultural narrative day in and day out until you start to forget what the dominant ideas are for most of the human population and thus feel the need to "defend" things that are widely accepted and popular. it's called this because of the time a bunch of text posts about shitty dads were circulating and then people with good relationships with their dad didn't feel included enough and started making "uhmmm can we normalize loving parents? not everyone has a deadbeat dad, MY dad is great" type posts, seemingly forgetting that good relationship with dad is a cultural norm that is expected and encouraged. i think its good practice, especially when im annoyed, to stop before i hit the post button and ask myself if this is a real issue or if im normalize loving parents posting. because often im about to try to normalize loving parents

common examples of normalize loving parents posting:

We've lost a lot to the onslaught of enshittification but I can think of none more brazen than Discord getting rid of the send button

Oh, you've typed a message? You've typed a message? Would you like to add a sticker (server stickers available with Nitro Boosts(TM).) Would you like to add an emoji (more custom emojis available with Nitro(TM).) Would you like to send a gift (gift your friend Nitro(TM) for only $9.99 a month.) Would you like to add an app (more apps available in the Nitro Store(TM).)

They got rid of the send message button. On the send messages to my friends app. In order to make room for a 5th button that sells you something. The parody is too bold people will roll their eyes you have to scale it back.

I would like to gently point out that the send button can be enabled or disabled under accessibility,

Also, if you're someone who'd like to customize your discord further, or remove nitro garbage or bypass it, better discord (an open source project) can be used on desktop for a lot of fun results:

Plugin options can entirely replicate nitro stuff, and enhance privacy, such as:

"Fuck those buttons"

"Hey maybe I don't want you to know when I'm typing"

"Fuck the character limit"

"Can I see my friends in a normal manner please"

"I would like navigating discord to be like a powerpoint please"

And many other features that range from helpful to profoundly useless but fun.

Enshittification sucks, but the first step to undoing it is taking control of your experiences and helping others do the same. So hopefully this helps a little?
