Subscriptions in December 2025
Similar to the tradition of publishing the annual list of Defaults, this is the review of my current subscriptions. I've also published the lists in 2023 and 2024.
Even though I have a Bear lifetime subscription, I moved my blog to Pika. I don't know exactly why, but I like it. Also, the folks from Good Enough, the makers of Pika, are super transparent and responsive on Mastodon.
I've also moved to a lifetime subscription in omg.lol because that's the best corner of the web. I even made my own application, Triton1, to use omg.lol services natively from my computer.
And to simplify my life and cross-post everything to Mastodon, I've added EchoFeed to my list of subscriptions. It's the kind of service that works so well you don't even remember it exists.
Finally, the complete list of subscriptions in December 2025:
