It's finally happening, I'm signing up for a Google Play account. And holy heck it's awful. DUNS numbers, home address, registering the same emails and phone numbers multiple times. Gmail's new UI has more banners and widgets than ever, it's bewildering. Is this what getting old feels like?

I tried for 3 or 4 months, every sim I tried didn't work. When it finally worked they added some random spaces at my LLC name and rejected verifying the account
After this I gave up of a play store release.
Apple worked but every day they asked for a new document, bagde, signature and it keeps going until I gave up too

Yikes, didn't know all that. Storing a private key is so simple and worthwhile, let's go!

I like Ed Zitron's recent article. He covers this kind of enshitification in tech UI. It opened my mind quite a bit even though I'd already been noticing it.

I truly believe that Flotilla could be really good for community builders and creators wishing to move away from Discord.

I agree, I'm putting all my chips on Flotilla for right now. Gotta get the UX polished and put it in the people's hands.

nothing worse than google

the good news is nearly everything they provide should be open source and free in 5 years because random internet morons will be able to build it for next to nothing
