Coming SoonTM
But yeah, they’re plugging away at it yet. Basically, K-9 sat in maintenance mode for a good while, and while it worked, there’s a lot of tidying up to do yet. I imagine they’ll have the Thunderbird name on it once it has some of the bigger pieces in place.
They’ve been selling NFT avatars and avatar parts for a bit now. They’re not like, $1800 single unit ape pics, but they are a limited run set of digital items purchased for real money. They actually gave most people one for free like 2 years ago or something.
I’ve used BaconReader for the last 11 years, and at this point it’s even hard to think about removing it from my phone. I know it doesn’t do anything anymore, but it’s probably been the most consistent app on every one of my devices since starting with it. Just feels weird to think about uninstalling it.
I still do, but not in the same capacity.
With the death of BaconReader I don’t scroll as much, and just from looking at my front page, I imagine it’s not only the summer doldrums that have thinned it out so much. It’s just… harder to find good discussion there, and what I do find is often charged in some way, or very thin. So, I stick around for some of the communities that I’m more active in, but I’m also doing things on Lemmy, and a few other places. Honestly, idk that I’ll ever full drop Reddit in the same way that I did, say, MySpace, mostly in that there’s probably going to be some value somewhere on the site. But, it’s certainly not my main source of idle scrolling or engagement anymore.
Also, yes, I know I can still make BR work, but at this point I’ll just keep using Reddit in browser with uBlock Origin.
