Last.fm is just a way to track what you listen to, and get recommendations off of it. The recommendations are actually pretty good, which is why I bother with it. You set it up on your Plex server, so it’s pretty much fire and forget.

You set scrobbling on the server, so whatever you listen to through Plex will work regardless of the app.

Honestly, I’m just back to multiple apps. I work with people from all over, so I have like 7 different apps. Ah well.

I’ve been using it for a while. I stopped.

My two issues were security concerns because Beeper needs to unencrypt my data from all platforms to re-encrypt it to send it to me, which sounds like a huge single point of failure; and regular connection issues where I had to switch back to the original app.

Great concept, but not quite there yet.

I treat them as sports team insofar as I hope that the stadium catches on fire and collapses on both of them in the middle of the match.

Zuck clearly put it there as a joke/Easter egg. I know it’s weird, but dystopian multibillionnaires whose life’s work undermines the very foundations of democracy around the world can have a (bad) sense of humor too.

I hate to be a pessimist, but it’s not gonna work.

Most big subs will reopen, and those that don’t will get their moderators replaced. The bulk of the user base is gonna switch to the official app and meme about how bad it is right on Reddit and get Reddit Gold for it.

I’m still gonna stick to either Lemmy or Kbin. I like the smaller community here; it reminds me of Reddit’s olden days when everyone wasn’t a cynical asshole.
