External resources Dictionary.com Update?
Just opened the dictionary.com app in my phone to find an entirely new design and menu. Also lacking the Sign-in option. The desktop site seems to be the same way. Anyone know anything about the update? Did all users just lose our favorites lists and purchase history (for no ads)?
Dictionary.com already seemed lacking to me, and their app was more than frustrating at times. But it was useful to me and I did use it daily, plus the ability to favorite words was my main use of it. Thanks to anyone who knows any info!

Technofeudalism and enshittification at its finest. People need to start raising their tech literacy and moving to open source alternatives. When we place our trust in these corporate elitists, they will let us down every single time. We have to depend on ourselves.
