I blame all these MBA folks that create value at the expense of everything else.
Yes, there’s a real chance here for the people to take back the internet. Pretty amazing.
And when those companies tread you like sh*it for all you've done for them, it's time to pack up your bags and move elsewhere.
It's really sad to see what's happening with reddit, but don't forget, it's we - the users - that have all the power to build up communities, not reddit nor any other company, and how we've been able to make reddit grow from nothing and thrive, we can do the same wherever else we want, let's just hope we can keep the fediverse clear of greedy pigs.
This is why having a public space organised by ourselves is the way forward. Everything else is just about manipulating you to extract as much as possible value from you.
