We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

    Wouldn’t it be great to have a search engine that would bring up sites and services like those in this thread, and exclude enshittified trash like youtube, amazon, etc etc.

    Linux has become better and better and now its incredibly good, better then windows and mac OS if you just spend a few weeks learning the small differences.

    Fastmail. Getting better and better, profitable and charging for services.

    Posthaven. Not getting better and better but started good and staying good. Profitable and charging for services.

    Unraid. Getting better and better. Not cheap, but a lot simpler to operate than TrueNAS for day to day stuff.

    Kickstarter. Yes they’re a virtual monopoly but so many awesome things I’ve joined through it (though fuck you Eve/Dough for roping me into your shitty monitor which never really worked).

    Virpil controllers. Rock solid, made by fanatics and rightly loved by fans. Cannot speak highly enough about their hardware (though their attitude to customer service is … Eastern European).

    Affinity products. They might be cresting though and about to roll steeply downhill towards enshittification valley. But I still love them for now.

    Linux. What’s not to love.

    Lemmy. In fact so so many open source products. Honestly, it’s hard to grasp the quality.

    Android ? Kinda ? I have practically only noticed progress since I started using it.

    This might change in the near future though

        Ok, I might switch to the Apple side then

        They will have the same issues, but at least when it works, it works flawlessly

    I haven’t been using it forever because I was just recently forced to switch to it from Pocket (courtesy of Mozilla’s enshittification journey), but Instapaper seems to have been going strong since 2008.
