@korreckj328 @backupbear The abyss was supposed to be an innovative new start-up that was going to completely disrupt the void!
In fact, it was supposed to be the Uber of voids!
Just pull out your phone, open the app, and within 15 minutes, a bottomless pit would open up at your house. Perfect for screaming, or sharing, or just casting things into!
They even promised us an internet of abysses!
I mean sure, the pay for the gig economy workers who made the voids happen was problematic. But at least it worked.
Unfortunately, they've enshittified the hell out of their app—literally!
Now you need to pay $10 per month or more on a subscription plan. Otherwise, you just get endless ads and a shovel.
Frankly, with all the AI crap that now comes pre-installed in each abyss, it's gotten to the point I'm now seriously looking into self-hosted open-sourced abyss alternatives. (There's apparently one hidden in Emacs somewhere.)
Or just dusting off my old analogue voids, which have been gathering dust in a cupboard all these years.
