If you really want to fight back, learn from the Mexican cartels and Islamic insurgencies.

We have data on what works.

In reality, reddit gave a userbase to a platform that previously had none.

This seems to be like Bluesky vs. Mastodon.

I see a lot of morons shilling one over the other, so I expect it to be the stupid-platform.

I dunno about netflix, but at least the reddit debacle diverted a lot of users to the fediverse.

If we get a similar exodus from discord to matrix, that would work wonders for spreading the fediverse to others. Most of them still haven’t even heard of it.

🤮

Who are the morons that keep making these decisions?

It’s all about abuse.

Companies get too big for their britches and are accustomed to doing whatever they want with their sheep just going along.

I’m sure they’re very surprised to see any kind of significant backlash.

You should know that the only people you’re going to affect are the ones who actually care about what you think of them.

The assholes are just ‘fishing’ and will completely forget about your response when they try to get with their next target.

Good on you for being nasty to people looking for a connection.

If men don’t approach women and women don’t approach men, then we’re left with a loneliness epidem- ohhhhhh.

I dunno. From my experience, just pretending you’re “all that” is enough to make women and girls go crazy.
