As long as no Fed instance attempts to monetize content, these people will have no power. So subscribe to them, engage to them all you want, but absolutely shun any Fed instance that does anything but accept donations to keep the lights on. Money will always enshittify platforms and their content. Always.

Edit: FYI, any real people who want to discuss things with me, don’t let your post sound like it came from a rage engagement bot.

Remember when sites would make bad decisions and then just, you know… fucking die? Reddit’s entire existence is owed to Digg imploding like the Titan submarine.

Notice how that doesn’t happen anymore? No matter how egregious their infractions, no movements away from Twitter or Facebook - no matter how deeply they are infiltrated/compromised by runaway fascism/capitalism - nothing has an impact. No backlash, no matter how huge - is strong enough to shutter these sites and make them stop being money-printing operations.

It’s almost like there is an infinite money glitch going on and no matter what, if you’re in the “in” crowd, your shit gets to stay around no matter how much everybody thinks it smells like shit.

Hm.

Ounce for ounce, this shit is wildly expensive. You could eat far cheaper and not be you know… eating fucking cat food.
