It's exhausting watching people constantly shoot themselves in the foot by putting all their energy into platforms that are doomed to screw them over with the exact same patterns of being cheap and easy at first and inevitably shit once you're stuck there.
@mauve i try to consider and clear whatever keeps people from alternatives, which are often not designed with that in mind
@rosano The main thing I hear over and over again js yhat they want to be where all the other people are. You can't talk features or dynamics when that's all that matters in the end. 🤷
@mauve I keep telling folks this as well and they look at me as if I have two heads and not in a “fascinating, he has two heads” but “wtf, you have two heads”.
If the thing you depend on costs a lot of money to operate, and got a lot of "investment" (loans) to get it in everyone's face, it will inevitably screw you over once the true owners want to bleed it dry for cash. The alternatives might not be as "popular", but they're the only option to escape the cycle.
