- I'm just saying,
- despite the nice crowd, I tried to find naked, or at least Bodysuited women on cohost and I couldn't find any.
- I reached out to an artist I like on Pawoo and he followed me back on my personal Mastodon Domain. But nobody else I know is there.
- Everyone I know and love is on twitter and twitter is at least, not constantly trying to connect my account with my Parents(unlike Facebook).
- they all have a different kind of value, and ideally as the users of each, we would have more control, more ownership, more of a stake in how it all operates.
- and Thats what the $8 checkmark people think they're doing, but they're too stupid to know what real collective ownership looks like. I'm for any measure that proves their perspective wrong and punishes them, with the added benefit that it only covers the consecutive operating costs of the platform they are being made fun of on.
- It is correct to be "against" twitter as a privatized platform. but personally, I don't think it's possible for any platform to be privately owned and not buckle under some kind of badfaith policy or management that acts against it's users. Every website I've ever joined has slighted me in some way or another, ironically the only place I've ever been a part of that hasn't threated any pursuit of a "good social time" be it for moral reasons or just an active purge of "my place on the platform" were the Artist forums I used to be a part of, or the Adult Swim Forums rest in peace.
- and that's not around anymore, so now I just take the good with the bad.
- I will continue to promote ActivityPub as the true beginning of an endgame democratization of a social internet. and I will probably not see it popularized in my lifetime but thats fine, as long as I'm able to plant that idea and encourage people to consider ways it can be improved, those improvements will happen eventually. Until then, we have the dog and pony show of these MarketerFirst:tm: platforms buckling under the weight of the fact that their real customers are not Marketers and if they really wanted to survive they would put ownership into the hands of the userbase.
