Social media, HN and the rest of internet first business can go broke

I don't see anyone out there propping me up directly. Why would I give crap if some open source hacker or etsy dealer doesn't have a home next month? Yeah I don't because they're not caring in the same way

Thoughts and prayers everyone else but your effort is clear, not going to be 1984'd into caring for people who clearly don't care back.

They want us trapped on their platforms and absolution from obligation to police their platforms

They’re involved in indemnifying themselves legally while jacking up RAM prices to prop up their data center investments and make us use those data centers to compute

And they get the government help making us the bad guy if we lie about age verification

They are playing both sides of this argument because doing so keeps them in the conversation altogether. They sell TIE Fighters and Xwings

The entirety of American society has gone absolutely off the fucking rails kowtowing to office dweebs who need to keep us tending the server fields or their buy in data centers becomes worthless

They make up a tiny tiny tiny portion of the human population and whatever nation state they claim to originate from

Paraphrasing Frank Reynolds, you have to be a real low life piece of shit to be proud to be American.
