The work-supervision to prevent slackers thing is only part of the problem, and pretty small.

The biggest issue is the huge amount of money these companies pay for real estate, and how much the commercial real estate market means to the overall economy.

All of this is just sabre-rattling in an attempt to return to the pre-covid status quo, while these companies will soon be shedding their corporate office spaces to reduce their operating costs.

Taxi companies need to own the car, pay for maintenance, pay wages for the driver, insurance, etc.

Ride-sharing apps offload all of the taxi-company maintenance overhead costs to the gig-driver while only paying about 50% of the fare.

Someone is holding that bag, though. Unfortunately for us, the people holding that bag have the kind of money to make our lives hell just for a fraction of a percentage point of value for their bottom line.

I’m on a Pixel 7, Android 13.

So far, I like Jerboa.

Maybe a bug:

When I go to all, I get a few posts loaded. I scroll to the bottom, and nothing else loads. I have to click into a post, swipe back to all, and then more posts will load, allowing me to scroll.

Feature requests: A version of all that automatically filters out tagged nsfw or porn. And maybe a version of all that automatically limits to tagged nsfw.

An ability to minimize or hide what I am subscribed to in the menu. Ie, I need to click on subscriptions to load what servers I am subscribed to, instead of them being top loaded and visible in the menu.

Moderators there are volunteers, responsible for curating the content that users post… The mods just need to limit their responsibility and only enforce the site-wide rules.

Allow their subs to devolve to shitposts and memes.

Reddit is already dead. It just might be a few years before Spez and co figure it out.

Look at r/subredditsimulator… Reddit admins were experimenting with AI content and comment generation, and had been for a while.

While also farming out the content moderation to volunteers.
