Sounds like you need some friends, friend. Those aren't them.

It's not even really that. Paris Hilton? As replaceable as the next individual human. Almost totally without any production or material value, yet loaded with worth. There are dozens of people like her. Or on a smaller scale, many mid-upper level managers are completely interchangeable and produce little to nothing, but are valued far more than someone working in a packing plant.

Worth and value have no correlation in our society. People who have money have it because they have money, not because they work harder or do more important things. Some people do have money and also work hard or do important things, sure, but it isn't correlated.

Great idea! If members of the working class fight amongst each other, it's a great way to get the people reaping the profits to listen.

You're directly serving the studios by acting like this. You could have said something like "This is awful, and the actors even do better than crew members, it goes all the way down." Instead you decided you should attack the other people who can't make rent.

They're up to two weeks now. I mean it's taking three or more days just to debate removing it and hold an - almost unanimous - vote. They're sending a very clear message that they're much more worried about showing due process towards violent fascists than looking out for the people those violent fascists would target. This whole delay after delay appears to be for the benefit of about twelve if their users, so it must mainly be for the admins themselves

I also have pretty much abandoned my account there

And? Are you concerned they're going to break into your house and depose the bourgeoisie because you followed a community on their instance?

I really don't think that many more people are going to switch at this point. Not even sure why so many people think they'd be fine with everything the last two weeks have held, but the actual date of the API change would be the breaking point.
