The only way to get ahead in today's world is to abandon all of your principles. What a shitty set-up.

    I still remember this line someone said while complaining about how The Boys was toothless at actually pushing back against hero worship and capitalism.

    You don't have to care, but vou really can't even if you want to.

    i find it ironic how a lot of anti-capitalist shows are owned by Amazon and Apple

    There's a debate to be had about not participating in platforms that do bad things vs. reaching people where they are, I suppose.

    reaching people where they are.

    Aaaand that’s how we got Twitter.

    There is no “reaching people.” Twitter is algorithmic. It only shows posts to people who’d find it engaging; in others words, you’re either posting into a black hole, preaching to the choir, or intentionally rage baiting.

    The is no point in advocacy there. It gives the illusion of it, but it’s a lie.

    Now, if they want to prepend every post with a link to Bluesky/Fediverse?

    That’s great.

    A siphon off the site is great. They’d probably get deprioritized for it, kinda like how posting Lemmy links seems to get one shadowbanned on Reddit. But participating in Twitter is otherwise just feeding the trolls.

    Companies don't have morals, all they have is just profit. Why are you holding Firefox to some mythical standard? It's a company, it's only gotten shadier. Can't wait when other browsers hit the market in a couple years and Firefox will eventually die. Just a matter of time, they can't increase their market share for fuck all.
