Deepseek made the code open source. This is not what they want. They want proprietary code and want to earn more money.

Seems like the air smells quite… nautical.

Ahh, replit. Wanna know how to completely destroy your service, community, workforce and reputation in less than a year? Ask them.

I used to use replit at the height of its popularity. If any of you know what Glitch was, it was like that but way cooler.

You could program in virtually every programming language, write Discord bots, make games, talk to people about coding and get viral from your programs. It was basically programming but with social media and with extremely easy to use text editor and theme support basically made Replit the #1 place to program on the Internet.

Then, the AI boom happened. And replit wanted quick cash immediately. So they up their subscription prices slightly with Replit Agent, basically ChatGPT but for programming. They then removed their school system, and decided to stop virtually all community support. Now a lot ot the top projects were AI based but at least you could progran right? Not anymore.

Halfway through 2024, Replit decided to kill the platform in one fell swoop. They restricted all free users to only 3 projects, 1 GB of storage and severely throttled CPUs as well. This made the replit userbase tank. They removed all community features and essentially ghosted everyone. Anyone with a brain abandoned replit and just programmed on their own computers.

It’s so sad what happened but hey, at least replit made people who would never program once in their lives programmers through ease of use and social factors.

I know bad for democracy and everything but

This app has done nothing positive for my life, arguably began my social media addiction, filled my brain with negative content at the height of COVID and severely impacted my mental health

I don’t think governments should ban platforns. But do I think TikTok should have ever existed? No

Great! Seems like a small subset of people are coming to the fediverse again like durring the reddit blackout. Always love having more people to speak to.

Sharing photos was the point of the app 6 years ago. Now the point is to either meticulously modify yout online image to look like the coolest person on the world - or just spampost memes/porn/disinformation to get followers and brand deals
