And I'm watching as everyone tramples over to Yet Another Corporate Platform where the same thing will happen in a few dozen months.
Ya'll need to get out for real.
Or at least have a backup that doesn't run on OPP (Other People's Platforms)

"It's O.P.P. time, other people's, but you get it
There's no room for relationship, there's just room to hit it
How many brothers out there know just what I'm gettin' at?
Who thinks it's wrong 'cause I'm splittin' and co-hittin' that?
Well if you do, that's O.P.P and you're not down with it
But if you don't, here's your membership"It's totally about platforms.

@futurebird It truly is nothing short of amazing isn't it? Horrible things happen to them because of the nature of the platform, so what do they do? Just move to another of the same blasted thing. And then it hurts them, so they just move to another of the same thing.
And whenever we try to tell them "hey, there is an alternative that won't screw you like that" they ignore us or even get mad at us.
It's like Windows users complaining about Copilot + Recall wondering why we keep saying Linux

To be fair. No one is hearing this. I've come to notice how there are big efforts made to migrate people to platforms. To recapture audiences in new spaces. This happens through media and influencers and I suspect some people spend a lot of money on it. Most people are simply not aware there is any other option.

It’s sadly predictable. Many people are so focused on being wherever they perceive everyone one else is, that they don’t do any deep thinking about what pitfalls may exist in that location. Follow the money, ownership, and political influence, people. Sheesh!

@futurebird All I can say is when I try to I get either ignored or fussed at. I tried to get a few people who really shouldn't have stayed on X as long as they did and just got such a cold shoulder. They never came to Mastodon. I assume they're on Bluesky, but no longer have contact with them to really tell (my main contact with a lot of people was Discord, but I gave it up while there was still a chance that "delete my account" actually meant delete it and not just disable it but keep data.)

I appreciate this wonderful throwback to lighter times.

@futurebird oh no - it's almost as if thousands didn't predict this well in advance....

To be fair ... this is part of the whole point of social media. To... be where the action is and all the people...?
I don't know how to break the cycle.
We've put some cracks in it though. That's something.
