What I find baffling is people still falling for the free speech meme on X.

I honestly think a lot of people will just blindly follow along. I don’t know anyone irl here nor on the Fediverse. Most people just don’t seem to value their digital capital that much.

I do think SM will dissipate, we’ve already seen that with Fedi/BlueSky/Threads but a lot of people seem to want the next big thing. 

I’ve been trying to convince my other half for years now and she still uses Meta products and has a lot of her research there. Even this morning I told her about how MTV just deleted their archives. Corporations are ephemeral entities, it’s not the place you want your work stored.

I have no idea what the future holds but I like the potential here, even if it stays small, I probably prefer that tbh
