First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

    I try to remain optimistic about this but companies like Facebook and Microsoft actually being too big to fail is depressing. Feels like we’re all being held hostage and we’ll only be free if something causes these technologies to become obsolete.

      Unfortunately the sad reality is most people are more than happy to trade privacy and freedom for convenience and safety. As long as people don’t change there will always be bad actors trying to exploit that weakness, whether that’s a company or a government. I’m pessimistic about the masses but I want to help keeping the communities of people who care alive.
