I mean, leaving now ... How very brave and probably not about the economics of remaining.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I at least feel good leaving as soon as Musk bought Twitter.

I thought for sure they’d get epically hacked.

Anyway, enough people do that and you keep flogging the customers and this is the outcome.

Same. It grinds my gears a little at all the excuses people give for continuing to feed that beast while talking about how terrible it is for society.

Sorry but having principles does involve some sacrifice.

You may be preaching to the choir here on Lemmy.

Probably 90% of us have left Reddit to use this instead.

(Not that I disagree with you, I feel your frustration)

And honestly a great example of it working out. At least for me. I would try Lemmy off and on, and so when there was big push for people to jump off reddit I was pumped. Only Lemmy doesn't have for me is it popping up on search results, but I can just find content and talk to people all day if I wanted to.

We take our Ws where we can get em.

Twitter being economically unviable is still pretty good news.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's probably not about the economics of remaining. Twitter's still got way more users than Bluesky.

But the optics of Bluesky are way better than the optics of Twitter, so you get to feel like you're sacrificing something (the larger user base) for your principles, while still having a huge (and engaged) audience.

They get to have their cake and eat it too. Until the crypto bros have their way with the place.

Which means it is about the economics. Which is what I said.

You just "um achserkly"ed me to make the same point but longer.

Ok, fine. It's about the economics of the bandwagon, I guess.

If I said the same thing you said, it was because what you said wasn't clear. Maybe you should have akshually used more words.
