I'm not denying it's technically feasible. I do deny learned helplessness. I have limited energy in life. Using it on making a change I'm not passionate about is a recipe for severe burnout. If i get more involved and find there's sentiment towards a migration away from FB then I'd spend some energy on building and facilitating that. Barging in and making demands isn't an effective way to build community. You can introduce ideas and develop them over time to show that it comes from care for and dedication to the org.

So yeah it's unrealistic on the time scales I'm concerned with.

    When you generalize your position about your available time and technical knowledge as the limiting factor for everybody you are not saying it's impossible for you, you're saying it's impossible for anybody and everybody. That's the problem. It's like saying "I don't like this food" versus "It tastes bad!". For you they are equivalent, for others they are totally different. I'm not saying you, or anybody else, should learn about self-hosting (federated) social platforms then set some up, what I'm rejecting instead is giving up pre-emptively on the behalf of others because it's giving power back to BigTech.

    I haven't generalized anything beyond the extents of

    1. my area geographically
    2. The groups in my area which i interact with
    3. An individuals weight within a community over time.

    I have not said it's impossible to do for me and have made no claim on the ability for others to do it.

    I'll give you so much as i didn't append "for me" or "in my situation" to every sentence, but the statements lay within the context provided in the rest of the post.
