I was more or less prepared for BitWarden enshittification, but that affects me less, because I'm self-hosting VaultWarden, so I have a little leeway.

What I was not prepared for is 3/4 of Zulip's board joining Anthropic.

As a direct consequence, the onlyjunk.fans Zulip will be gone when I'm back from RustWeek. I can't deal with it[1](#01KRQS1W4SPWZKSHYG48X2NDMJ-fn:1) right now, but it's gonna be the first thing when I'm back home.



Figure out an alternative. [↩︎](#01KRQS1W4SPWZKSHYG48X2NDMJ-fnref:1)

@hsza @algernon Isn't the message "we are leaving Zulip for Anthropic"?

@hsza @algernon I think it's actually better like this. Being led by a foundation instead of just a singular company makes the leadership behind Zulip more diverse in the sense that, hopefully, profit-making incentives will not be the motive behind steering decisions. I think this sounds promising, especially since the people joining Anthropic have pledged to only be on the board of directors temporarily.

@hsza @algernon given how bad (as in featureless) their mobile apps are, you wouldn't even think that's the case. AI bros are usually the first to have agents stuff their software with 30000 features. but the ios app has largely been the same over the past year. you cannot even move messages, ban users... so much functionality is still missing there. i genuinely wonder where all the token spendage went? -@star
