This is generally sad.

People hate a service, but they depend on it so much they create whole codebases to cope with it.

Depending on things we hate is a tragedy.

How about just admitting the things you hate? Then you can just drop it and live a happier life.

Unless you are of course somehow required/forced to use X, then I'm all for projects like these.

Unfortunately the alternatives aren't much better. Bluesky now does the same BS where they demand an account if you just want to read replies to a tweet or whatever they call that at bluesky.

And there is no bskycancel.com yet.

No they don’t. That is an opt-in setting that a user can put on their profile to only have logged in users see their content. The default is open viewing.

Ah ok, I don't use bsky much but I got linked there on another HN post. I could see that but when I clicked on replies I got a login prompt just like twitter.

I normally use nostr more because that really is decentralised. Also mastodon. Though I don't like the short message twitter style blogs anyway. So Lemmy really is my favourite (too bad about all the tankies though)
