I know I’m practically begging for downvotes here, but it is also possible that some people are perfectly aware of the tradeoffs, pros, and cons of social media, and have decided that the positives outweigh the negatives. That you have different priorities doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone else is stupid or ignorant.
It’s ironic how the Fediverse on the one hand celebrates the fact that anyone can join and instances can all do their own things and hold their own views, and then it goes “but not like that” in this case.
Yes, all in contrast to corporate enshittification and algorithmic spyware.
Yes, because its corporate social media waiting for enshittification with algorithmic spyware.
If some instance wants to enshittify itself it’s free to do so. The Fediverse makes it straightforward for its users to move to other instances when that happens.
If Reddit had been magically federated with the rest of the threadiverse, for example, it would have made reacting to their recent API decisions much easier.
I think the world we live in necessitates assuming ignorance. Just the last 8 years or so alone.
aint that the truth
@BraveSirZaphod I mean, if they’re not, then that means that they’re fine with hate speech and run away bigotry, and to be honest, that’s not a truth I want to face
