    endless

    feed

    to fight algorithm addiction

    Uuuuuh that’s not the way to fight an addiction, right? Who is this person working for, exactly?

      Think of it as a methadone clinic for doomscrollers.

        More like a brothel for sex addicts.

          Jesus. Enough hyperbolic nonsense. Browsing Wikipedia is way healthier than doom scrolling.

            And doomscrolling Wikipedia is still healthier than doomscrolling anything else.

      Most “apps” are just http web hooks to a regular website backend with extra tracking telemetry. So a website working as a PWA should be enough for everyone.

      I hate how everything has to be a fucking app, because it doesn’t need to be.
