So you are ok supporting a platform that is actively taking the power away from organization helping people because it is a good experience? I mean you are on Lemmy, so you must have some sense to the issues surrounding centralized anything, especially media?

For me it’s a lot like paying taxes. No I’m not ok with it, but it’s required of me so I just coast along because revolting would not be worth it.

As you say, I have no problem revolting against a platform over injustice (15y Redditor here, left when they did dirty).

They removed a blue check mark. It’s petty. It’s stupid. It’s not revolution worthy imo.

I understand your position and you make some good points here.
