@jerry it's almost like there is a compulsive need among a large swath of media to destroy things which are explicitly set up to be egalitarian and social, instead of set up to exploit others for profit. Hence, BlueSky, which I just read sells user generated data to train AIs, is good, while Mastodon is bad and failing.

Anything which shows people that another way not only is possible but within which people can thrive must be terminated as a matter of urgency.
